A Picture’s Worth – PECS and Other Visual Communication Strategies in Autism (2011)
Author: Andy Bondy & Lori Frost
Description
Most young children with autism have significant delays in acquiring communication skills, a hallmark characteristic of autism. But with intensive early intervention and Applied Behaviour Analysis techniques, children can be taught how to communicate successfully, even before they acquire the ability to use speech. This book examines the value of non-verbal communication strategies for children with autism, and presents the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) in detail. PECS is a communication system that allows a child to use a picture (or series of pictures) to express his needs and desires without a prompt or cue from another person. The authors co-developed PECS during many years of experience working with children with autism, and now share their expertise in this easy-to-understand guide for parents. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This book is fantastic. It was a life saver for me as a student speech and language therapist, and has become my most borrowed book by parents of cildren with autism. It is a must for any parent who’s child is begining to use PECS. Easy to read, and very practical. (for test)
