Sunshine Sign and Sing creates Children’s key word sign (KWS) resources. Childrens key word sign is designed for pre verbal babies as well as non verbal children and children with a speech delay. Signs are used alongside simplified speech with only key words being signed.

 

Perfect for autistic children, apraxia of speech, Down’s syndrome and other neurodiverse children. They can also be used by Speech Pathologists and Occupational Therapist to expose children to fringe vocabulary.

 

Signs are borrowed from Auslan (Australian Sign Language) however it is not Auslan, Auslan has its own grammar, structure and Deaf culture associated with their language.

 

We encourage as many children as possible to learn Children’s key word sign (KWS) as this alternative and augmentative communication tool (AAC) will allow pre verbal children the ability to have their needs and wants met as well as to express themselves, we think it is essential to ensure that a child has as many communication partners as possible especially their peers.
