Abstract
Key Word Sign (KWS) is an unaided form of augmentative and alternative communication where manual signing is used for people with complex communication needs. Communication partners require training; however geographical, familial and personal barriers impact accessing KWS training. Online training has become more common; however, no research has investigated the online delivery of KWS training. This mixed methods study compared efficacy and acceptability of online training programs delivered synchronously, asynchronously or as a combination of both (hybrid), with results from a previous study that measured face-to-face training.
