This intensive two-day interactive training is designed to teach
educational teams and parents the theory and protocol for the Picture
Exchange Communication System (PECS), an evidence based practise. We
begin with identifying key components to designing effective
educational environments that foster communication. Through presenter
demonstrations, video examples and role-play, you will learn the six
phases of PECS, including how to teach spontaneous requests,
attributes for expanding language, responding to questions and
commenting. The workshop concludes with discussions about the relation
between PECS and speech as well as criteria for transitioning from
PECS to other communication modalities, such as speech generating
devices (SGD).WHAT YOU WILL LEARN- Identify key components to
