Picture Exchange Communication System
(PECS)
Lori Frost and Andy Bondy devised a communication
system based on the exchanging of pictures to express communicative
intent. PECS is divided into structured phases that progress
from teaching the requesting of specific items, to building
sentence structures and to using higher level communication
functions.
