Looking for an app to help children with autism improve their communication skills? Check out Flashables 50! This app features the innovative Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), which uses pictures instead of words to help you communicate.
PECS is specifically designed for people with language delays and is a proven method for improving communication skills. With 50 Flashables, kids receive a set of picture cards of their favorite foods and toys. These picture cards can then be given to communication partners (parents, therapists, caregivers, etc.) to request the items they want. This exchange strengthens communication and helps children develop language skills.
Additionally, Flashables 50 is available in various versions (English, Chinese, Japanese, and more to come) and is accessible to children around the world. Download Flashables 50 today and see how the PECS system can improve communication between you and your child!
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) helps people with autism in many ways, including:
• communication
PECS provides an alternative means of communication for children with little or no spoken language. Children can learn to use PECS cards to ask for things, make comments, and answer questions.
• Social interaction
PECS helps children interact with peers, teachers, and family members, improves their social skills, and helps them feel integrated into different environments.
• study
PECS helps children more easily understand and follow classroom instructions and daily routines.
• Independence
PECS helps children become more independent by giving them the tools to communicate their needs.
• behavioral problems;
PECS helps reduce problem behaviors such as tantrums, self-harm, and aggression. By providing an effective means of communication, PECS can help reduce frustration and anxiety.
• Spoken language
Some children may develop spoken language naturally while using PECS.
Although PECS is a well-researched communication system, its effectiveness varies from person to person. We recommend consulting with a professional to determine if PECS is appropriate for your child.
