      I mostly use BSL. Some of them use sign supported English (SSE), particularly those who have had hearing in the past, but lost it later in life.

      No one that I work with at the moment uses Makaton, but I do a lot of work with Mencap and I used to know some children with learning disabilities that used Makaton, so I do know quite a lot of Makaton!
