New Here, and question for all on communication........

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I just joined this group, hoping to share information. I am a speech-language

pathologist, and work with preschool children with autism. I am currently

trying to decide on a communication program for a student. I would LOVE to hear

input from parents and teachers on what has worked best for you. I am debating

between sign language and a picture system such as PECS (or similar), and have

heard pros and cons of each. My nonverbal student learns signs relatively

easily, but others think it isn't a great idea for various reasons, and would

prefer a communication board. If you have used either, or both, with your

child, I would appreciate any views on what has worked best. Thank you!
