Signalong Foundation Course Part 2 Completion

Course description

Signalong is a sign supported communication system and the central aim of all Signalong courses is to develop people’s signing and communication skills.

At the heart of Signalong’s philosophy and approach is the belief that communication with people who have learning disabilities and/or autism should be led by each individual’s needs and desires, and firmly focused on their real, everyday experiences.

Signalong’s unique methodology trains people in signing skills rather than simply teaching large vocabularies of signs that may be irrelevant and therefore rarely used and quickly forgotten. In this way Signalong equips its users to access any sign that may be required by the people with whom they live or work.

Signalong’s Foundation course may be undertaken in 2 parts. The Induction course is part 1 and the Completion course part 2. If a trainee completes both the Induction and Completion training courses, they will be supported to develop the range of SLCF competences identified for the Foundation course.
