Using the Picture Exchange Communication System for developing communication in learners with Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities: a review / Kirsty WATTS in Good Autism Practice - GAP, 23-1 (Spring 2022)
[article]
Titre : Using the Picture Exchange Communication System for developing communication in learners with Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities: a review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsty WATTS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.14-21 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The author is a qualified Special Educational Needs (SEN) teacher working within a Specialist SEN School for pupils aged of 3 to 19 years. She has a class of five pupils aged from 8 to 11 years, all of whom have Complex Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (CLLD). In this paper, she reviews the literature on Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) and compares this with her own experience of using PECS with her class. She identifies many issues in using PECS which include staff training, the assessment of motivators, and the extent to which children with CLDD can benefit from PECS. Staff use other interventions to develop communication and the suggestion is that it may be better to focus on interactive interventions which lead to spontaneous communication and the development of cognitive skills, rather than using PECS, which for this group may be limited to requests in a rather formal manner. The Editor would be interested in having other papers on developing communication in learners with CLDD. Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=493
