David Fischer

PECS IV+ is a robust and user-friendly software solution designed to facilitate effective communication for individuals with autism and communication difficulties through the Picture Exchange Communication System methodology.
2025 Editor's Rating

New & Improved for 2022! PECS IV+ serves as the ideal solution for transitioning from PECS to high-tech AAC. Designed for learners who have successfully navigated phases I through IV of the Picture Exchange Communication System using traditional PECS books, PECS IV+ represents the natural next step in their communication journey. Developed by Pyramid Educational Consultants, renowned for their evidence-based PECS approach, PECS IV+ empowers users to construct a multi-picture Sentence Strip™ using a dedicated Sentence Starter™ page and up to 30 digital PECS book pages to facilitate in-app voice communication capability.

Languages Available: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, and Russian

Features of PECS IV+:

  • Resembles a traditional PECS book with colored tabbed pages featuring VELCRO® strips and a Sentence Strip to replicate the student's existing PECS book
  • Enables easy drag-and-drop functionality from tabbed pages to the Sentence Strip akin to traditional PECS book usage
  • Seamlessly switch between pages by scrolling and tapping on different tabs
  • Effortlessly rearrange pictures on the Sentence Strip without needing to delete images
  • Clear Sentence Strips with a single button press or clear individual pictures by swiping them back into the book
  • Comes equipped with over 1,000 Pics for PECS images
  • Integrates key features from the PECS protocol such as a constant time delay for the in-app voice

Customize Each Book:

  • Open or close the dedicated Sentence Starter page with a single touch
  • Create 1-30 tabbed pages with up to 28 pictures per page
  • Personalize each page by specifying the number of VELCRO® strips, color, category icon, and/or number of pictures per page

Customize Pictures:

  • Select from included Pics for PECS images or add images from your photo library and the web
  • Edit text on pictures or adjust text placement on or around the image
  • Vary picture sizes as desired
  • Utilize the search function within the Pics for PECS library for ease of access

Speech:

  • Utilize customizable synthesized speech (AVSpeechSynthesizer) or record personalized speech messages
  • Incorporate the research-backed constant time delay method for 'reading' the Sentence Strip to encourage speaking opportunities for users

Select from Included Profiles or Create New Profiles to Customize:

  • Determine how pictures are manipulated: tap, drag, or both
  • Select your preferred method to clear/reset the Sentence Strip
  • Choose the visibility status of the Sentence Starter page
  • Select reading direction: left to right or right to left
  • Opt for when to read the Sentence Strip: after each picture selection or upon completion with a single tap of the "Speak" button

Pre-Requisite Skills: Pyramid Educational Consultants emphasize commencing functional communication training with a traditional PECS Communication Book rather than an app or speech generating device. These high-tech options lack vital social interaction crucial to communication—a fundamental element of the Picture Exchange Communication System. Research underscores that most learners can master phases I through IV of the low-tech PECS Communication protocol within 3 to 9 months.
