PECS User Groups

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, consultation and products
The chance to win free attendance at a Pyramid workshop of your choice
Access to a Pyramid Consultant, who will lead group discussions regarding PECS success stories, common implementation issues and problem-solving regarding any specific questions
Best of all….meetings are FREE for anyone who has attended a PECS Basic Training Workshop in the past three years!!
