Episode 329- Tutorial: PECS w/ Judy Southey

In our newest episode in our Tutorial series, we're joined by special guest (and SLP), Judy Southey to get the ABCs of PECS. Like, did you know saying, "Hand me a PEC" demonstrates a total misunderstanding of the acronym? Or, more importantly, the steps involved in training the usage of PECS for increasing verbal behavior? What comes first, second, last and what common misconceptions about PECS can interfer with the development of functional language? More questions, we've got the answers!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
