Overall objectives of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the overall broader objectives to which the action will contribute?) 

The MAKATON is a Communication and Language Support Program, consisting of a functional vocabulary used with speech, signs and / or pictograms.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the key indicators related to the overall objectives?) 

The signs and pictograms illustrate all the concepts. They offer a visual representation of language, which improves understanding and facilitates expression.

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges:


Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?) 

The MAKATON also addresses the entourage of the person with disabilities: parents, speech therapists, educators, psychomotor ... in order to use the same mode of communication and facilitate learning.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of  information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?)

Risks and Challenges: (Which factors and conditions outside the user's responsibility are necessary to achieve that objective? (external conditions)) Which risks should be taken into consideration?  


Expected results on implementation of the resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (The results are the outputs envisaged to upscale. What are the expected results?) 

The diversity of concepts makes it possible quickly to promote exchanges, by accessing all the functions of communication: to name, to formulate a request or a refusal, to describe, to express a feeling, to comment …

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the indicators to measure whether and to what extent the action/resource achieves the expected results?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the available sources of information for these indicators?) 

Risks and Challenges: (What external conditions must be met to obtain the expected results on schedule?) 


Activities

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What are the key activities to be carried out and in what sequence in order to reach the expected results?) 

MAKATON meets the needs of a large population of adults and children with speech impairments associated with various disabilities: mental retardation, autism, polyhandicap, specific language disorders, neurological disorders affecting communication.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (What are the means required to implement these activities, e.g. personnel, equipment, training, studies, supplies, operational facilities, etc.) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information about action progress?)
