Picture Exchange Communication System. It helps a child to associate pictures with words. As you show your child the picture of a dog make sure you show the word.

Picture exchange Communication System. Emma has used this since she was three. It works great because she is so visual and has trouble seperating the sound of your voice from other noise that she hers.

The PICTURE EXCHANGE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM is an alternative and argumentative method to teach communication through pictures .Many kids transition from PECS to voice output system. I chose not to use PECS because Parag started choosing not to use words at all. To us it was important that he use verbal communication because he can use words for his wants and needs and now he is expanding beyond. These days "COMMUNICATION " is our main focus in our homeschooling. PECS is one more tool to enhance communication in kids and only by trying we can figure out if it works or not for our kid !
