DSWA Keyword Sign Workshop
We are so excited to be able to offer another Key Word Sign Workshop. The wonderful workshop will be taking place in the southern suburbs. Everyone is welcome including parents, carers, family, teachers, supports or anyone supporting someone with hearing or speech challenges.
Key Word Sign (KWS) adds signs to spoken words. The key words in a message are signed. KWS is not a sign language, but it borrows the signs from the sign language of the country it is used in.
What does the workshop cover?
- Principles of Key word Sign and gesture
- How sign helps communication development and support verbal communication.
- Which signs to teach.
- Basic vocabulary of signs to use every day.
Can I use my Childs NDIS funds to attend?
If self managed or plan managed, YES! Parents/carers build your capacity and skills to help your child achieve their goals.
Can I attend if I don’t have a child on NDIS?
Yes, you can choose the ‘Public’ ticket option.
Included:
- Morning and Afternoon tea (BYO Lunch)
- Key Word Sign booklet
- Certificate of completion.
