Need free PECS?

  Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic

Here are my resources related to PECS.  If a link is broken, remove any blank spaces from the address and try again.  If it still doesn't work, let me know.

www.pdictionary.com - Here is a link to a free picture dictionary.  All the pictures have a white background and a similar simple style, so they could easily be used for PECS.  The pictures are pretty small, but I found that I could enlarge them in my document without losing much sharpness.

http://trainland.tripod.com/pecs.htm - Lots of links to sources for free pecs.

http://elearning.autism.net/visuals/main.php?g2_itemId=37 - Lots of PECS materials in English and French.  (originally posted by "teacher").

http://www.setbc.org/pictureset/ - lots of PECS materials.

http://www.howitis.org.uk/browse.htm - specializing in b&w images of feelings, rights/safety, personal care, sexuality, and general vocabulary (also originally posted by "teacher").

http://www.somerset.gov.uk/stcsymbols/default.asp - free symbol library with 3,000 symbols.  Registration needed.  Recommended by our member "teacher".

http://www.parentingyourcomplexchild.com/schedules.html - shows examples of how this family uses PECS in situations they encounter daily.  These examples are then used to train others who work with their son.  They show the PEC (photo of the child doing the activity), they say with words what it means (for example "It's time to wash your hands") and they cue the activity in specific ways.

http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art46735.asp - various PECS links (note:  the majority seem to be for products, but some are free)

http://www.picsearch.com/ - search engine for images, not official pecs.

www.images.google.com - search engine for images, not official pecs.

http://www.visualaidsforlearning.com/products/index.htm - sets of free visuals in various themes and for various age groups.

Any other resources?

Autistas.Org - PECS - Sistema de Comunicação por Figuras para Autistas - I know, this is in another language, but the PECS are in English.

Do2Learn: Educational Resources for Special Needs - Good basic site if you want free, better if you are willing to pay a yearly fee.

Life Skills Materials - This one lead me to some of my favorite PEC sites.

Grocery Pecs, Autism Pec Symbols, Picture Exchange Communication System- Just a few free ones, but a few is more than none when you are starting.
