The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)
It is an augmentative communication system developed to help individuals quickly acquire a functional means of communication (Bondy and Frost, 1994). PECS is appropriate for individuals who do not use speech or who may speak with limited effectiveness: those who have articulation or motor planning difficulties, limited communicative partners, lack of initiative in communication, etc.
Children who have been diagnosed with Autism seldom engage in effective communication. Many autistic children never develop speech, while others develop early forms of communication and social interaction.
To be effective communicators, individuals must first be able to understand cause and effect relations, have a desire to communicate, have someone to communicate with, have something to communicate about, and have a means of expressing themselves. Communicative exchanges involve both receptive and expressive language skills.
Extra symbols can be made upon request to customize the schedule to your specific needs. Please provide information at time of purchase.
