Signalong Level 1: Essentials | Key Signs for Everyday Communication | SEND IASS North Northants

Welcome to Signalong Level 1: Essentials, part of our ‪@signalong‬ training series. This video introduces key everyday signs to help support communication for children and young people with additional needs. Signalong is a sign‑supported communication system that uses key word signs alongside speech. It can help to improve understanding, support expression, and reduce frustration when communication is difficult. In this Level 1 session, our trainer Sara shares simple, practical signs that can be used in everyday situations at home, in school, and in the community. This video is designed to support parents, carers, and professionals to build confidence in using Signalong in a clear and consistent way. Watch alongside the introduction video for a helpful starting point, then continue through the series to build your skills step by step.
