Background:

  • The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) was developed in the USA over a decade ago.
  • PECS has recently been introduced and generated significant interest within the field of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address challenges encountered during the establishment of PECS in a special school setting.
  • To report observed changes in children with severe learning difficulties using PECS.
  • To discuss the applicability of PECS for children without an ASD.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of PECS in a special school environment.
  • Observation and reporting of changes in 21 children with severe learning difficulties using PECS.
  • Discussion of PECS use in non-autistic populations.

Main Results:

  • The paper details the process of establishing PECS within a special school.
  • Changes observed in 21 children with severe learning difficulties who were taught to use PECS are presented.
  • The study explores the use of PECS with children who do not have an ASD.

Conclusions:

  • PECS implementation in a special school setting presents specific challenges and considerations.
  • PECS demonstrates potential benefits for children with severe learning difficulties, including those without an ASD.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the broader applications of PECS across diverse populations.
