Summary
The Raising Children Network provides a parent guide on Key Word Sign therapy, a type of communication therapy using hand signs alongside spoken words. It is suitable for individuals with communication difficulties, including autism. Key Word Sign aims to improve communication skills through hand signs representing key words in sentences. Research indicates positive effects, particularly when integrated with other therapies. Training is typically provided by professionals like speech pathologists, and costs may be covered by NDIS plans.
Raising Children Network is an information resource maintained by a partnership of agencies in Australia. Its website offers “evidence-based content you can trust on hundreds of topics about raising children and looking after yourself as a parent.” [Website]
