Journal of Special Education Apprenticeship, 5, 1-15
Abstract: A literature review was conducted to describe important concepts involved in functional analysis of verbal behavior as well as to evaluates empirical research findings on acquisition of picture exchange-based vs. signed mands to suggest instructional implications for teachers and therapists to teach functional communication skills to children with autism. Research findings indicate that children with autism acquire picture exchange responses to mand for reinforcing items more easily and rapidly than signed responses. Show Less...

Abstract: Introduction Among the interventions focused on the communication for the autistic children, the Picture Exchange Communication System seems to lack the support of numerous institutions and speech therapists although few fundamental studies and case studies really show its efficiency. Within the framework of the introduction of the Picture Exchange Communication System in a day hospital in Picardy, we were able to follow the implementation of this method. Show Less...

Abstract: Using procedures similar to those of Tiger, Hanley, and Heal (2006), we compared two multiple-schedule variations (S+/S– and S+ only) to treat high-rate requests for edible items in the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). Two individuals with autism participated, after they showed persistent requests for edible items after PECS training.Show Less...

Abstract: The communication barrier is a disorder condition that is often found among the autistic children. Therefore we need an approach to optimize the communication ability of the autistic children. PECS is very effective to help the autistic children to communicate and to control their emotions. PECS can be used as a starting point to build the interactions during the instruction both between autistic students and their teachers, and between their classmates and the environment more effectively.

Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 4, 307-320.
Abstract: A systematic review was conducted to analyze the scope and breadth of the existing training protocols for establishing social and communicative behavior using high-tech, touchscreen devices. This review aimed to determine the degree to which studies evaluating high-tech communication aides have established procedures to extend, or completely replace, traditional low-tech communication training methods (e.g., Picture Exchange Communication System). Show Less...

Codas. 9;29. (Brazil).
Abstract: Purpose: It is known that some autistic individuals are considered non-verbal, since they are unable to use verbal language and barely use gestures to compensate for the absence of speech. Therefore, these individuals’ ability to communicate may benefit from the use of the Picture Exchange Communication System – PECS. The objective of this study was to verify the most frequently used words in the implementation of PECS in autistic children, and on a complementary basis, to analyze the correlation between the frequency of these words and the rate of maladaptive behaviors. Show Less...
