Unlock Advanced Communication Skills & Elevate Your Clients.

An evidence-based functional communication system PECS protocol is based on Applied Behaviour Analysis, typical language development and B.F. Skinner’s Verbal Behaviour.

PECS level 2 training will further provide practical ideas for advanced lessons in expanding the learners’ language and communication within functional activities, and essential tools for identifying communication opportunities across the day.

  • Review and critique the first four phases of PECS 
  • Review and explain implementation of PECS beyond Phase IV 
  • Practice phases of PECS to teach them with fidelity 
  • Identify strategies for problem solving throughout the PECS protocol
