197. What Is the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and Why You Should Use It
Manage episode 393057413 series 3228277
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) can be incredibly beneficial for helping our students with autism to communicate. Often, the term PECS is misused to talk about using pictures as a form of communication. However, PECS is actually a system that has specific phases that help in expanding the functions of our students' communication.
We want students to be able to communicate in an effective way, and I truly love PECS for encouraging our students to communicate. In this episode, I am clearing up some misconceptions about PECS, sharing ten reasons that I love PECS, and encouraging special educators to use it with their students.
01:20 - The truth behind a common misunderstanding about the Picture Exchange Communication System
02:52 - What PECS actually is and how it encourages speech
07:58 - How PECS encourages initiating communication
11:30 - The benefit of using pictures within PECS to communicate
13:05 - How the Picture Exchange Communication System builds on students' strengths
