Are you interested in learning how to teach communication skills rapidly to those with limited functional speech? If so, then plan to attend the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) Level 1 Training scheduled for September 12-13, 2016 in Carmel, Indiana.

Sponsored by the Institute’s Indiana Resource Center for Autism and Pyramid Educational Consultants, Inc., PECS promotes communication within a social context without lengthy prerequisite training.

An added attraction for preschool children with autism and related disabilities is the high proportion of children who acquire independent speech.
