"Hands Can Talk" focuses on teaching sign language to parents, carers and professionals who then take their knowledge and pass it on to their children.

We dont just teach the signs we also give you an understanding about what you are doing and why you are doing it!!!!!

At Hands Can Talk  we teach participants Auslan signs and how they would be used within the hearing community. That is with the 'Key Sign' concept. (always with voice and only signing the most relevant words and in correct word order.)

All of the signs are simple, everyday, EASY TO LEARN signs.
