Why choose Ali Pennington Makaton Training UK?

  • With over 25 years of professional and personal experience, I’m passionate about empowering Makaton users of all ages — from early years through to adulthood. My background in health and social care, early years, and primary education gives me a well-rounded understanding of communication needs in a wide range of settings.

  • I offer practical, engaging training that can be shaped to fit your setting — whether you’re part of a large health trust, a multi-site care or early years provider, an academy trust, a school, a small independent nursery, a care home or supported living organisation. My aim is to help you confidently embed Makaton into everyday practice, creating more inclusive and supportive environments for everyone.

  • As a guest speaker/trainer at universities and colleges across the South West, I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring future professionals in education, health, social care, and sport.

  • I’m proud to support organisations both locally and nationally — from large charities and corporate teams to small, community-based settings. Every session is designed to make a real difference, giving you the tools and confidence to help the people you support.​.
