PECS Level 1 Training (in-person)

Easterseals Outreach Program and Harding University have partnered to host this intensive 13-hour interactive workshop. The dynamic and enthusiastic Jo-Anne Matteo from PECS will present the workshop, which is designed to teach educational and caregiver teams the theory and protocol for the Picture Exchange Communication System® (PECS®). PECS is an evidence-based practice based on Applied Behavior Analysis, typical language development, and B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behavior.

What you will learn:

• The key Pyramid components to designing effective educational environments
• Strategies to create an abundance of opportunities for communication
• The relationship between PECS and traditional communication training approaches
• How to implement all six phases of PECS with target individuals using a behavior analytic orientation
• The criteria for transitioning from PECS to other communication modalities
