PECS stands for Picture Exchange Communication System. This form of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is typically used as an aid for children with autism. It is a great tool for helping non-verbal children communicate without words. PECS allow the child to make choices and communicate needs. PECS are typically introduced using pictures of desired objects (such as food or toys). When the child wants one of these items, he gives the picture to a communication partner such as a parent, therapist, caregiver, or another child. The communication partner then hands the child the food or toy, thus reinforcing communication. Ultimately, the pictures can be replaced with words and sentence strips (for example; I want a ball).
