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.
Using
pictures is an excellent way to teach speech, language and
communication. Children with Autism are highly visual and can be taught
almost anything using images. You need thousands of good photographic
pictures to help with 'generalization' i.e. if a child with Autism has
just one picture of a white dog and is taught this is a dog, he may not
easily recognize a German Shepherd when he sees it. Using new and varied
material also keeps a child from getting bored and frustrated.
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) was developed 12 years
ago as a unique augmentative/ alternative training package that allows
children and adults with autism and other communication deficits to
initiate communication. PECS does not require complex or
expensive materials. It was created with educators, residential care
providers and families in mind, and so it is readily used in a variety
of settings.
It is thought that we should
minimize the number of stick images or drawings used. Actual color
photographic material is the best as the images are more life-like and
much easier for the child to relate to.
Our software contains the photographic images for your PEC's style
communication needs. The following info provides links to pages on
purchasing or creating your own products.
This is better than teaching sign language because not everyone
understands sign language. PECS allow your child to communicate with
anyone.
