I honestly can’t even put into words how beautifully my son has thrived using his PECS. Having a way for him to communicate his wants and needs is everything to us!

I really enjoyed the presenter for this training. You were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I genuinely feel prepared to go into my classrooms and start with PECS.
