Autism Pecs (Picture Exchange Communication System)

Pecs are used to exchange non-verbal communication. This is what we used to when Jacob could not express to us what he needed. We still use pecs and schedules to assist if Jacob has a melt down because he can not communicate or find the appropriate words. We use a pecs book and a board to assist him. Mom made a cheap pecs book by buying a $1.00 binder, File Folders, White card stock, a hole punch and a cheap $20.00 Laminator bought at Walmart, and velcro. Mom found some free Pecs websites, and I was amazed at all the websites I found. See her pecs book here, also on the same page you will see Jacob's schedule, and Jacob using pecs.
