: Good for you! It's weird that she was acting that way - at the PECS training course I went on, they specifically discussed this issue and said that PECS shouldn't be used unless a child or adult was clearly not progressing with speech (or it was felt that they needed PECS as a back-up to speech or to help them progress with speech).
Josh was her first PECS kid and she claimed it promoted language and literacy, which I have also heard from other special ed teachers. But I think she believed Josh would not ever be very verbal. He did not show them much in the classroom. When I returned a year later to visit her new class with Josh, I cued Josh by writing down a sentence for him when he wanted a toy. She said I was doing the same thing as PECS essentially. It may be similar, but I am much more comfortable doing this now that I know he can talk by himself. He just gets stuck sometimes.
Can you elaborate more on activity schedules for us? Gaylen mentioned she used a velcro board and let Curty pick his activities. How do you make these? Love, Jen
