Recent research (published December 2022) found that: “during shared book reading between parents and young children with Down syndrome, positively affects the communicative interaction that occurs between parents and their children. Children signed more and became more active participants and through repetition, parents increased the dosage of word/sign pairings. Each of these factors have been shown to facilitate growth in children’s language abilities” Frizelle, Pauline, et al. “Embedding key word sign prompts in a shared book reading activity: The impact on communication between children with Down syndrome and their parents.”

What is Key Word Sign?

Key word sign is an augmentative and alternative communication tool that uses Auslan (Australian Sign Language) alongside speech. It helps pre-speaking or non-speaking children communicate more effectively while encouraging the development of spoken language through sign and speech pairing.
