Makaton Shema

[abpearce100]

I need to know if the Makaton is used in Israel as well please. My hubby and I want to go to Israel and we have a 5 year old autistic daughter. Any help you can give me on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks, Antoinette (abpearce100 (@) gmail . com)

Beautiful! You obviously are not biased--he is a genius and cute, and beautiful and gorgeous and clever and more! Plus he loves you.

What is it about the cooing of a small child that makes it so beautiful and sweet.

[Jay3fer]

Lovely!

This is the central prayer in Judaism, that is recited many times daily, referring to the the ways we are meant to physically remind ourselves of our faith and our commandments.

"You shall wear a sign upon your hand, and we shall have them (commandments) as a reminder in front of your eyes"

referring to Tefillin (you can google that).

"You should write them on 'mezuzot' on your home and at your gates"

referring to Mezuza (you can google that too!)

Any questions... message me.

Hi Jeremy,

Great to have your feedback that you've used my Makaton Shema in helping Jewish children you work with who have mental handicap.

So glad to hear that you've been able to use it to sign with the Shema with some of your kids.

That is my hope that it will be used.

Best wishes

Jonathan

Beautiful job little M! My 9 y/o son has Downs, and we also rely on ASL for clarification when his receptive or expressive language needs a boost. Thank you for sharing. You made me smile.

down syndrome

[ASignUponYourHand]

Wikipedia:

"Down syndrome or trisomy 21 (usually Down's Syndrome in British English) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 21st chromosome."

The main UK organisation for those with the condition and their families is the

Down's Syndrome Association

The UK naming convention may be changing though.

Your little boy is adorable!! :-D you can see that a couple more goes and he'd probably sign the whole lot that was ace for his first try and only being 2! I've never seen signing used for things like prayer. well cool!

[ASignUponYourHand]

Thanks Bess,

Yes, he's great isn't he.

He's a year older now and knows it all the way through, though he still tends just to say the last syllable of each word, his signing is pretty good.

Sometimes we do it in 'lish (English).

If I cannot understand what he is saying, then after a couple of repeats I will ask him to "Sign it" and that usually tells me what he is trying to say.

[tobiosnmakky]

@ASignUponYourHand your replies are so thoughtful :)

[bslsignguy]

Excellent, really nice video. Enjoyed you signing with your son.

[ASignUponYourHand]

Thanks, really appreciate the positive feedback.
