The Pyramid Approach emphasizes the \u201cwhy\u201d of learning, \u201chow\u201d to teach, rather than simply \u201cwhat\u201d to teach. It is designed to help professionals and parents ask the right questions to help maximize learner progress.

The team must identify items and\/or activities that the learner enjoys throughout the day. In addition it is important to plan for communication opportunities such as carefully monitoring the identified reinforcers so that accessibility is limited. If these items are always freely available, the learner would likely be less motivated to request the items during your initial PECS lessons. In addition, <a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/shop\/pics-pecs-version-14\/\">pictures<\/a> will need to be made prior to your first PECS session. The symbol set does not matter in the early stages of PECS. We recommend that you identify a symbol set that is easy for you to reproduce and maintain. If changes in the symbol set are necessary, these changes will be made in Phase III.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;The person I am thinking about for PECS is not able to match.

PECS begins by teaching the important foundational communication skills of &#8220;how to communicate&#8221; and &#8220;how to be persistent with communication.\u201d We begin by using single icons during the first two phases of PECS. During the initial phases, the picture functions as a ticket that must be exchanged with a communication partner. These concepts parallel typical language development, in that young children begin engaging in basic communication skills (i.e. joint attention with gestures) prior to development of the first words. In a similar fashion, we teach the art of communication via PECS first and then focus on building the picture vocabulary in Phase III. Specific teaching strategies are utilized in Phase III to teach discrimination of the icons. These teaching strategies have been effective with children who previously were not able to master a variety of match-to-sample lessons.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Will PECS prevent individuals from learning to speak? &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/research\/?searchtopic=PECS%20and%20Speech\">Research from as early as the 1960s<\/a> has demonstrated that AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) systems do not inhibit the development of speech, but rather facilitate the development of speech.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Does every learner need their own PECS Communication Book?

We don&#8217;t share voices, so our students should not be required to share the Communication Books. The learner will be taught to transport the book to all settings beginning in Phase II. After that time, it will always be the learner\u2019s responsibility to carry the book throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p><b>Following Phase III discrimination training, it is appropriate to use <a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/shop\/activity-board\/\">Topic\/Activity Boards<\/a><\/b>. These boards contain vocabulary that is relevant to a specific location or activity. For instance, in the home setting there may be a topic board located in the kitchen that includes a variety of food choices. In the motor area at school, the board may include all relevant pictures of gross motor activities. Remember that if the item is reinforcing to your learner, the picture from the Activity Board should also be replicated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/shop\/communication-book\/\">PECS Communication Book<\/a>.

The first variable involves the learner&#8217;s interest. You can conduct one trial or twenty trials, as long as your learner continues to initiate (e.g. reaching towards the item). Once the learner stops initiating, the trainer can decide to either offer a new\/different reinforcer or end the session. Keep in mind that you should always end the session on a positive note, prior to satiation, boredom and\/or occurrence of Contextually Inappropriate Behaviors (CIBs).<\/p>\n<p>The second variable involves the availability of the second trainer.

During Phase I the picture acts as a ticket that is exchanged for a desired item. As such, only one picture is presented at a time.<\/p>\n<p>However, the learner may ask for several different items during a session. Each time the reinforcer changes, the corresponding picture is placed directly in front of the student. So, although only a single picture is presented at one time, the learner should be exchanging a variety of pictures for all identified reinforcers throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How many trainers do I need to implement Phase I of the PECS protocol? &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>You must have two trainers to begin implementation of the PECS protocol with your learner.

Are the items\/activities powerful reinforcers from the learner&#8217;s perspective? Conduct frequent preference assessments to make sure the items\/activities are still wanted. Also, be sure to engineer your environment so that reinforcers are not &#8220;free&#8221; throughout the day. Reinforcers should be placed inside containers or on high shelves, so if the learner wants to access the item, he\/she has to make a request.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learner Initiation:<\/strong> Have you been waiting for the learner to initiate (i.e. reach toward the item) BEFORE prompting the exchange? Phase I targets learner initiation, so the reach must happen before the trainers intervene. If the learner is not reaching towards the item, this may be an indication that the learner is no longer interested or does not want the reinforcer. This may be a good time to conduct a miniature preference assessment within the lesson.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trainers:<\/strong> Have you been using two trainers, a communicative partner and a physical prompter, to teach the exchange? You must have two trainers to teach Phase I. There is no way to teach Phase I initiation skills with a single trainer. Assess that both trainers are following the PECS protocol. A PECS Implementer Checklist can be found in <em>The PECS Training Manual, 2nd Edition<\/em><i>, <\/i>page 355.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Please note that some learners may demonstrate a slower learning curve.

Instead, we will teach the use of a call switch (i.e. talking photo frame, BIGmack Switch, bell, etc.). The physical prompter will teach the learner to hit the call switch, which is programmed with a generic expression such as &#8220;Come here, please.&#8221; This will be the communicative partner&#8217;s indication to approach the learner. From there, the learner will exchange the single picture for the reinforcer. The communicative partner should slowly increase the amount of time before availability to receive the learner&#8217;s message. The call switch and Communication Book should be permanently located in an area that is easily accessible (i.e. book and switch placed on wheelchair).

After mastery of Phase IV, the learner may independently begin constructing the Sentence Strip in novel ways. The learner may place both pictures on the strip at the same time and\/or place the reinforcer picture first on the Sentence Strip followed by the Sentence Starter.

Requiring the PECS user to do so unnecessarily slows the communicative response for him or her. Some learners insist on being the ones to put their pictures back, though. This is fine.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, as learners become integrated into community activities, they will need to learn to take the Sentence Strip back from the &#8220;lay communicative partner,&#8221; so that pictures and Sentence Strips don&#8217;t get lost. When teaching this skill, we recommend the use of physical prompts or gestures instead of verbal prompts (i.e., &#8220;Put your pictures away&#8221;). The physical prompts or gestures you insert into this lesson should be much easier to fade than verbal prompts and will promote independence as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;My learner inconsistently vocalizes while constructing the Sentence Strip\u2122 or while I am %22reading%22 it to him.
