From Pyramid Educational Consultants, the developers of the evidence-based and world-renowned PECS, PECS IV+ allows users to construct a multi-picture Sentence Strip™ via a dedicated Sentence Starter™ page and up to 30 digital PECS book pages for the in-app voice to speak.

PRE-REQUISITE SKILLS
Pyramid Educational Consultants does not recommend starting functional communication training with an app or a speech generating device because these high-tech options do NOT require the social interaction that is crucial to communication and is the cornerstone of the Picture Exchange Communication System. Functional communication training should begin with a traditional PECS Communication Book. Research has shown that most learners can learn phases I through IV of the low-tech PECS Communication protocol within 3- to 9-months.
