Sunshine Sign & Sing – Offers & info
Key word sign (KWS) is the use of manual signs, facial expressions and natural gestures used alongside spoken words to assist communication for those that are pre-verbal or have communication difficulties.
In Australia signs are borrowed from Australian Sign Language (Auslan) with only key words of a sentence being signed while the corresponding words are spoken.
It is one of the most widely used strategies for people that cannot communicate by speech alone.
We already use signs and gestures in our everyday life, by using signing we are simply expanding on these gestures and giving them more purpose.
