Key Word Signing is widely used as an AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) strategy, helping children who are pre-verbal, non-speaking, or experiencing communication delays to express themselves more clearly and confidently.

Happy, Excited, Silly, Proud, Calm, Sad, Scared, Tired, Angry, Worried, Surprised, Shy.
These everyday emotions help children develop emotional awareness, self-expression, and social communication skills.
🧠 What is Key Word Signing?
Key Word Signing (KWS) is a communication approach that combines spoken language with signs, gestures, and facial expressions, highlighting the key words within a sentence.
The signs used are inspired by Auslan (Australian Sign Language) and are designed to support children who:
• Are pre-verbal or non-speaking
• Have speech delay or unclear speech
• Experience communication difficulties
• Benefit from visual communication supports
Key Word Signing is commonly used with AAC communication strategies and can support both neurodivergent and neurotypical children in developing communication skills.
