Children’s key word signing (KWS) is an alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) tool that uses Australian sign language signs (Auslan) alongside speech, gestures and facial expressions. It is useful for non-verbal, non-speaking, speech delayed children, research has shown it is especially useful for neurodiverse children including autistic children, ADHD, apraxia and downs syndrome.

 

While Children’s key word signing (KWS) uses Auslan signs it is not Auslan, Auslan has its own grammar, structure and Deaf community associated with it. Children’s key word sign is used as a tool to encourage speech while providing the child with a method to get their needs and wants met. We encourage all children to learn children’s key word sign (KWS) so that they are able to communicate with any children that uses this method to communicate and massively expanding the communication partners of the child.
