The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is a tried-and-tested approach that uses pictures to develop communication skills in children and adults with a wide range of learning and communication difficulties, including autism. Developed in the 1980s, PECS has received worldwide recognition for focusing on the initiation and social approach elements of communication. This 'exchange' format develops skills critical to communication such as social approach, interacting with another person and spontaneity versus prompt dependency. PECS is easy to access, affordable to implement and scientifically supported as one of the most effective communication interventions.
