Jessica French accidentally learned to use Makaton sign language while watching Mr Tumble, a colourful kids TV show character, use it on screen.
An adorable Glasgow tot learned how to finally communicate with her mum thanks to a CBeebies star.
“She enjoys watching Mr Tumble and we suddenly noticed she started to pick up the language he was using quite quickly.“It has made a massive difference to her life, I didn’t know about Makaton before Mr Tumble but I started to research and learn it for Jessica.”Mr Tumble is played by Justin Fletcher in the popular series Something Special on CBeebies, which helps tots communicate their needs using signs and symbols.
“She is in hospital a lot as she has respiratory problems because of her small lungs, meaning she is on oxygen a lot. “We would love to see it introduced in more places so that Jessica wouldn’t be as lonely and unable to interact with people.”The John O’Byrne foundation is backing Lyn’s appeal for more Makaton awareness after noticing many youngsters would benefit.Charity founder John O’Byrne said: “There's more and more kids these days who are non-verbal which makes Makaton even more important.
