Build Communication Skills for Life

Pyramid is the sole source for the internationally recognised, evidenced-based Picture Exchange Communication System® (PECS®) and the Pyramid Approach to Education®. We’ve been improving functional communication skills, decreasing  behaviours that challenge, and increasing independence for over thirty years.

I honestly can’t even put into words how beautifully my son has thrived using his PECS. Having a way for him to communicate his wants and needs is everything to us!

JoLee Farr

Parent of a PECS User

I really enjoyed the presenter for this training. You were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I genuinely feel prepared to go into my classrooms and start with PECS.

The Pyramid Approach is not as much a ‘new’ way of teaching, as it is a system of involving every person in the classroom to create a unified educational environment.
