What if communication didn’t rely on speech alone?
In this episode of The Digital Access Show, Narelle sits down with speech therapist Libby Brownlie to explore keyword sign—a powerful yet often overlooked communication strategy that supports people who have difficulty speaking or understanding speech.
Libby explains how keyword sign works, who it helps, and why it remains an essential tool in the world of disability and augmentative communication. From children with developmental delays to adults with brain injuries, keyword sign offers a practical, human-centred way to connect.
You’ll also learn:
- What keyword sign is (and how it differs from Auslan)
- Why communication is more complex than we realise
- How gesture and body language play a vital role in understanding
- The pros and cons of high-tech communication tools vs signing
- How you can start learning and using keyword sign
This episode is an eye-opening conversation about accessibility, inclusion, and the many ways we can make communication more human.
Listen, learn, and rethink what communication really means.
