A 2-day workshop consisting of 13 hours of training on the background, rationale hands-on implementation of PECS. Also covered: the Pyramid Approach to Education; how to create effective learning environments; other visual strategies useful for communication and independence. This workshop is recommended for all parents professionals wishing to implement PECS effectively. It is also a requirement for anyone considering the PECS Implementers Certification.
I have been using PECS in my classroom for 4 or 5 years, but had been taught by others, who had been on the course. Now i have it from the horses mouth, and it is much better. I can see WHY the students have got stuck at a particular phase and what I should have done about it. I wish I had the opportunity at the beginning to do the course, I think my students would have made better progress. Hopefully my classroom can be more effective now.

Very inspiring. I had been feeling very disheartened about my daughters non-ability to communicate. I now feel I have the tools to tackle this and take control.
