PECS was developed in 1985 as a unique augmentative/alternative communication intervention package for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disabilities.
First used at the Delaware Autistic Program, PECS has received worldwide recognition for focusing on the initiation component of communication.
PECS does not require complex or expensive materials.
It was created with families, educators, and resident care providers in mind, so is readily used in a range of settings.
