Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS).
The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is a commonly used augmentative communication systems for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other communication deficits. In this issue of Research in Developmental Disabilities Gantz and colleagues have published a meta-analysis of PECs with individuals with ASD.
Their meta-analysis confirm that PECS is a promising intervention for individuals with ASD. Their analysis indicated that functional communication outcomes were most impacted, and that the younger children and those with autism generally vowed the best outcome. They also found indications that those individuals who completed the most phases of the PECS protocol showed the best results.
