PECS PRODUCTS & SOFTWARE
Our software is often used to create personalized
PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) PECS begins with
teaching a student to exchange a picture of a desired item with a
teacher, who immediately honors the request. The
system goes on to teach discrimination of symbols and then puts them all
together in simple "sentences." Children are also taught to comment and
answer direct questions. Many preschoolers using PECS also begin
developing speech. The system has been successful with adolescents and
adults who have a wide array of communicative, cognitive and physical
difficulties.

Interactive SoftwareMany children, particularly those with autism, are fascinated by the computer. Often, however, off-the-shelf educational programs that may work well for the typical child are too distracting or overwhelming for a special needs student. Our Great Action Adventure program is designed to be distraction-free and fully customizable. You can control which photos and videos appear, which sounds and videos play, and how quickly the program advances. Each word is systematically introduced and tested using a discrete trial method of teaching (often called ABA or DTT). The Great Action Adventure teaches the following skills:

The sample animated gif files shown below are rough approximations of the videos that come with the Great Action Adventure. The videos on the CD are much larger .mov files with sound effects and spoken words. ESL and Foreign LanguagesBecause our Picture This...
