Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 , I would ask that PECS not be used. When my son was younger and was evaluated for using PECS, the SLP said that there was no way that he should be given the option of using PECS because he was able to make some verbalizations. She said to build on his ability to make sounds and not to allow him to use PECS. That's my experience with PECS. We did implement a modified PECS system for foods and for places to go because it made things easier, but I still required him to make some vocalization to get the food that he pointed to. We originally used sign language, but that was dropped once he began using some vocalizations. Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 My son is also less verbal but I am told by numerous old timers with SCD that this is die off and things will get better. It's so hard to see regression I know. I am at four months and my son's stomach is pretty bad, but I am JUST NOW starting to see some connection come back and some labeling of words return.
