What is Key Word Sign?
Key word sign is an alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) method that uses a combination of signs adapted from Australian Sign Language (Auslan), natural gestures, and facial expressions. It is designed to support and enhance spoken language by highlighting key words in sentences. This approach makes communication more accessible, especially for children with speech or language delays, and helps to enrich understanding and interaction. Key word sign promotes inclusivity by providing additional support to children as they develop their communication skills.
