Researchers Lori Frost and Andy Bondy, noted that traditional communication techniques, including speech imitation, sign language, and picture point systems, relied on the teacher to initiate social interactions and none focused on teaching students to initiate interactions.
Based on these observations, Frost and Bondy created a functional means of communication for individuals with a variety of communication challenges.
The learning system is used to rapidly teach communication skills to those with limited functional speech. Region 7ESC is offering the training in Kilgore this fall, and participants will learn how to implement the six phases of the program, Picture Exchange Communication System (PEC).

Educators will learn the system attributes, through presenter demonstrations, video examples, and role-play.
