Why I am learning BSL

[lauramartin]

I currently work in a special needs primary school where we use Makaton to communicate with the children who are non-verbal or who have limited speech. It's opened my eyes to the importance of sign language and how it gives those who can't communicate in any other way the ability to express their needs/wants. I want to learn BSL as I think it will really help me in this profession as well as in day to day life.
