If you work in special education or have a child with a diagnosis you\u2019ve probably heard of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). It\u2019s well-known because it\u2019s an evidence-based practice and when implemented with fidelity, it works! PECS provides an immediately useful method for requesting things, actions and people, in a way that requires and promotes social interaction. Using the principles of applied behavior analysis, PECS starts by teaching spontaneous requesting and as quickly as possible, moves on to responding to questions as well as commenting about things in the environment. An added attraction for preschool children with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) is the high proportion of children who acquire independent speech after the introduction of PECS. However, it\u2019s never too late to start PECS; excellent progress has been made with people who were taught PECS as adults. It\u2019s also important to note that while PECS was initially developed for young children with autism, it has been used successfully with a variety of learners of all ages who have various cognitive, physical and communication challenges.<\/p>\n<p>With our training courses, you will learn to implement PECS \u2013 the evidence-based, AAC system of choice for people with autism worldwide.<br \/>\n<a class=\"et_pb_more_button et_pb_button et_pb_button_one et_pb_bg_layout_dark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pecsusa.com\/Brochures\/FlowChart-IsthispersonacandidateforPECS-Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PECS Flow Chart<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"train-list\" style=\"padding-top: 20px;\">\n<h3>PECS &#038; Communication Workshops Available:<\/h3>\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/training\/pecs-level-1-training\/\">PECS Level 1 Training<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/training\/pecs-level-2-training\/\">PECS Level 2 Training<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/pecs-greece.com\/en\/training\/pecs-overview-webinar\/\">PECS Overview (WEBINAR)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We Offer A Range of PECS Workshops Individuals who are nonverbal or have limited speech need a communication system they can start using right now.
