What is Key Word Signing (KWS)?

Key Word Signing is an unaided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tool. It involves signing the key words of a sentence while speaking, complemented by gestures and expressions. While KWS borrows signs from Australian Sign Language (Auslan), it is distinct from Auslan, which has its own grammar, structure, and associated Deaf community.
