Sunshine Sign and Sing is a charity that creates Key Word Signing resources and content for children, as well as providing services such as training for Educators.
Key Word Sign uses signs, gestures and facial expressions all alongside speech as a communication tool. Key Word Sign is an Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) tool for those that have communication difficulties. Key Word Sign borrows Australian Sign Language (Auslan) signs, however it is important to note that it is not Auslan. Auslan is a recognised language with it's own grammar, structure and Deaf culture and community.
Children's Key Word Sign can be for non speaking or pre speaking children that require an alternative or augmentative form of communication. However, research has shown enormous benefits for all children including with language development and mathematical concept understanding.
