Key Word Sign can be used to support individuals with communication difficulties to understand and get their message across to others.
You will learn the principles of Key Word Sign (KWS) and gesture, who it can be used with and how it can be used alongside other ways of communicating.
You will also learn up to 80 new signs along with common natural gestures, with opportunities to practice in a fun group environment.
You will leave the workshop with a plan of the next steps in your KWS journey, as well as helpful resources to support your learning, including the ‘Getting Started with Key Word Sign’ book.
