Workshops
Key Word Sign SA organises Basic Key Word Sign Workshops on a regular basis.
You will learn:
- how KWS can improve interactions with children and adults who have difficulties understanding and using speech to express themselves
- approximately 60-80 signs
- how to incorporate KWS at home, and in educational and care settings
Community Workshops
Workshops are organised by the state committee across the year and are open to anyone interested in learning more about Key Word Sign.
Cost: $140 per person
An online version of the Basic Key Word Sign workshop has been developed to support the same learning outcomes as the face to face workshop.
Requirements:
- Access to a laptop or table with microphone and camera to support video conferencing via Zoom
Workshop materials will be posted to participants in advance. Please email your postal address to keywordsignsa@gmail.com. Places are limited.

Private Workshops
You can also request a workshop for your family, workplace, or for the team of people who support the person using KWS. This is a great way to get everyone trained together, and to personalise the training for the particular individual. This is a cost effective way of learning Key Word Sign and everyone in your community learns together.
