Makaton symbols and signs are matched to all the concepts in the Vocabularies to be used with speech, the written word or on their own. The Makaton Symbols and Signs are now available in electronic database form. The databases can be collected in installments by purchasing different sets of disks of Symbol and Sign graphics. The databases comprise only graphics of Makaton symbols and signs, together with some additional files of examples and word lists compatible with some widely used software packages. Many other software packages should also be able to utilise the databases.
Supplemental licenses are available.
When Makaton is used in other countries, the signs from that country's Sign Language of the Deaf Community are matched to the adapted version of the Makaton Vocabulary. In Australia it may be possible to purchase the symbols database only. This information is from the manuals provided with the Databases. Mention of any product or supplier does not constitute a recommendation.
