Deep Creek Daily Notes Blog December 13

December 13, 2022: Have you ever heard of the PECS system? I learned yesterday that PECS is the Picture Exchange Communication System: a way for autistic people to communicate without relying on speech. To communicate, people use cards with pictures, symbols, words, or photographs to ask for things, comment on things or answer questions. It was developed as an alternative/augmentative communication system in 1985 by Andy Bondy, PhD, and Lori Frost, MS, CCC-SLP. There is a questionnaire on the website to determine if an individual is a good candidate for PECS.

The weather today will be mostly sunny, with highs in the upper 30s and a low of 24. East winds of around 5 mph.

Everyone is gearing up for the holidays, but we also know that sometimes this time of year can be really tough – especially if someone you love is no longer with you. Grief is always hard, but it’s especially difficult during Christmas.
