Makaton the "signing and communication system" aimed at people with learning disabilities and their families is stolen and misappropriated from British Sign Language (#BSL) and not even compatible. #Makaton Foundation charge for access to their signs and materials, making £1.5 million a year.
Not content with stealing BSL in the 70s and bastardising signs. Makaton are now trying to do the same to Deaf signing communities across the world.
