Teaching students to communicate is essential to unlocking their potential. This session
will provide an overview of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) as well as
examples of how a classroom teacher and SLP work together to implement it in a PPCD classroom. PECS is an Evidence Based Practice for students with autism. However, it can also be used with students with a variety of disabilities. This session is appropriate for teachers or SLPS who want to learn what PECS is and/or for those who have been through official PECS training but struggle to implement in the classroom.
