🌟 Want to help your autistic child communicate while traveling? 🗨️ Check out the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS)!
At home, your child may use a tablet or device for communication. But what about when you're on the go? That's where PECS comes in handy! It allows your child to point to pictures to express their needs and feelings.
My editable travel PECS includes pictures of airplanes, luggage, theme park rides, restrooms, and more. It's perfect for vacations and outings when tablets aren't allowed.
Attach the PECS to a lanyard or keychain latch for easy access. Your child can use it to communicate with theme park staff, at the beach, in the city, and even at resorts.
Download your free copy of my travel PECS today and make communication easier for your autistic child on your next adventure! 🌍💙
