Résumé :	[close] Delays in acquiring communication skills is a hallmark characteristic of autism. Now parents of children with autism can significantly improve their son's or daughter's ability to communicate using the visual communication strategies described in A Picture's Worth. This easy-to-understand guide presents in detail the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) -- pictures used by a child to express his needs and desires without a prompt from another person -- as well as an overview of other augmentative and alternative communication systems. Developed by authors Bondy and Frost during many years of experience working with children with autism, PECS can be used for children of any age who are non-verbal or who are verbal, but do not initiate communication. After a thorough review of verbal communication development, A Picture's Worth explains how autism affects the acquisition and progression of those skills. Without the ability to express themselves, children with autism experience a high level of frustration, which is the root cause of many undesirable behaviors. Parents learn how to recognize patterns in their own child's behavior and when to begin a visual communication program such as PECS. Many real-life case studies, along with a series of lessons, from beginner to more advanced PECS techniques, help support parents in getting started and maintaining a program. A Picture's Worth promises the opportunity for most children with autism to acquire meaningful and effective communication skills. [Résumé d'Auteur/Editeur]
