PECS Advanced Training

PARTICIPANTS MUST HAVE COMPLETED PECS BASIC TRAINING

This workshop is perfect for anyone who has previously attended the PECS Basic Training and is currently implementing PECS.


Day 1: This day focuses on a thorough review of how to implement each phase of PECS. The most common implementation problems, including discrimination difficulties, and cutting edge problem solving strategies will be addressed. Participants will practice their PECS skills under the guidance of a Pyramid consultant, troubleshoot their personal implementation issues, and watch video examples of PECS lessons. Participants are encouraged to share their own successful and difficult cases. The aim is to respond to the difficult cases in a manner that does not simply “fix” the situation, but results in successful problem solving. Videotapes of participants implementing PECS are welcomed. Please contact Pyramid in advance if you would like your tape reviewed at the training session.

Day 2: This day explores incorporation of communication, advanced language and PECS implementation throughout the day. Both receptive and expressive communication skills are explored, with a focus on implementing these skills into a variety of functional activities. Ideas for advanced language lessons for learners using any modality (i.e. voice output systems, sign language, speech, etc.) are discussed. The day ends with information specifically related to incorporating PECS opportunities throughout the day. Concepts are explored through a combination of videos, discussions and small group activities.
