Good afternoon,

We are very excited to announce that we have just launched on the platform instructional videos to help you learn and teach the PLS concepts using Key Word Sign (KWS).

KWS is a tool or strategy which can be used to support children and adults with communication difficulties to understand and get their message across to others. 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. In Australia this is Auslan.

​At Positive Living Skills, we believe KWS adds value to all children, and we encourage educators to learn more about KWS and incorporate it into their approach. 

Be sure to utilise your KWS flash cards and your KWS PLS poster.

To watch the instructional videos on how to sign PLS concepts you can log into the platform and click on the Educator Resources drop down tab and select Key Word Sign, here you will find the series of videos.

We would love to hear your feedback on KWS within the PLS program and we love to hear about your experiences and even share your videos or photos with us.
