PECS User Groups: Practice Among Friends!
Join other PECS enthusiasts to learn new skills and to get some fresh ideas! Meetings last approximately two hours and consist of a clinical session led by a Pyramid Educational Consultant, an opportunity to practice new skills, a period for questions, troubleshooting and sharing ideas, and an open time for networking and socializing.
Members include parents, professionals and students who are dedicated to enhancing their knowledge of PECS while at the same time sharing their experiences with others. It is our hope that all members will also help introduce PECS to families and school systems that work with individuals in need of a functional communication system.
Member benefits at each meeting:
- Discounts on Pyramid workshops
- Free access to a Pyramid Consultant
- The chance to win a free Pyramid workshop of your choice or free telephone consultation
No membership fee!
In order to ensure that all members have similar PECS instructional backgrounds we require that all User Group members have attended a PECS Two-Day Workshop.
