What is Children’s Key Word Signing?

Children’s Key Word Signing is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tool that combines signs borrowed from Australian Sign Language (Auslan) with gestures, facial expressions, and speech. Only key words are signed, making it easier for children to learn and use. This method has been shown to improve word comprehension and reduce frustration in children who are developing verbal skills.

2. Demonstrate: Use the reverse side to learn and demonstrate the sign
3. Practice: Encourage your child to mimic the sign during playtime
4. Reinforce: Use the sign alongside the spoken word in daily activities
5. Expand: Combine toy signs with core word signs to build sentences
6. Learn Together: Scan the QR code to watch video tutorials as a family
