PECS Training Manual - Second Edition
by Pyramid Educational Products Inc
Part of the PECS Resources Range
Developed by Lori A. Frost, M.S., CCC/SLP and Andrew Bondy, Ph.D., this manual guides the reader through the six phases of PECS. The goal of PECS is to provide individuals with an effective and functional method of communication. It has been highly successful with adolescents and adults, as well as young children, with a variety of communication difficulties.
Using picture symbols, individuals learn to construct sentences and more complex communications and thus are more effective communicators. Individuals are taught to initiate communication in a social context. The emphasis on the social approach sets this picture-based system apart from more traditional systems. Most individuals learn to calmly ask for what they need within a few days of training. Many individuals learn ‘the exchange’ within their first training session.
This manual includes information on the rationale for, and the implementation of, each phase of training. Instructions for constructing the pictures, discrimination training tips, data sheets, and a PECS parent handout are also included. These elements combine to make this an essential and comprehensive tool for proper implementation of PECS.
