SIGN UPDATE CONTENT:
Did you know that the signs for MOUSE and ORGASM are very similar? Did you know that the signs for THIRSTY and HORNY are pretty much the same? Did you know that you need to be careful how you sign MOON, because you might convey a message that is very different from the one you intended!!
Following the KWS Victoria AGM, there will be a Sign Update where Nick will teach us some adult focused signs that you are unlikely to ever teach in a basic workshop, but which will be fun to learn and good to know from the perspective of sign accuracy, (so you don’t accidentally sign a word or concept that you never intended).
Following this, Merryn will share some reading she has done regarding the use of Wordbank to assist in selecting early Key Word Sign Vocabulary for young children aged 18 – 30 months.
And if we have time, we will do some brainstorming about how we might vary our basic workshop content and activities, depending on the participants who are attending.
Looking forward to seeing you there!!
