PECS Communication Books

Lori Frost developed these picture-ready communication books. Since each child using the PECS should have a book of their own, these books will save you a lot of time and work. The back of each book is longer than the front, to allow easy access to the sentence strip no matter which page the child has turned to. Each book is a 3-ring vinyl binder, and comes with two colored insert pages, a sentence strip and Velcro to attach to the pages. Extra insert pages are sold separately.
The large book is 10"x 9", and is ideal for young children who use the 1.75"x1.75" pictures to communicate. The small book measures 7.5"x 6", and best suits children who use the 1"x 1" pictures. Colors vary.

PECS Laminated Pictures

A real time saver! The pictures in this valuable set come printed on sturdy paper and are laminated! This is a collection of the pictures most commonly used by young children who communicate with PECS. It was developed over several years by tracking the picture vocabulary development of hundreds of children. This initial vocabulary is made up of items that children most typically want and items that allow children to make very specific requests and/or comments. The full color drawings are specific and detailed, yet versatile. This set contains 160 pictures. Velcro loop strips are also included.
