Pyramid Educational Consultants

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!

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.

ADOPTING A PROFOUNDLY AUTISTIC CHILD

ADOPTING A PROFOUNDLY AUTISTIC CHILD

When Isahiah came to live with Jennifer and her husband, Brandon, he had no functional way to communicate and very few independent living skills. Acting not only as his guardians but as his advocates and biggest supporters, Jennifer and Brandon helped provide Isahiah with the therapy and services he needed to develop new, critical skills.
