About us

We are the UK branch of Pyramid Educational Consultants. The parent organization was established in the United States over 20 years ago by Andrew Bondy PhD (Clinical Psychologist), and Lori Frost MS.CCC/SLP (Speech & Language Therapist) to develop services that focus on the design of effective educational environments and emphasize the initiation of communication.

Our aim is to provide high quality training, consultation and support to parents, carers and professionals involved with children & adults with communication difficulties. The "Pyramid Approach to Education" (Andrew Bondy 1996) offers a unique blend of broad spectrum applied behavior analysis in conjunction with the development of functional communication skills, emphasizing the individual needs of each student.

In addition to our training workshops on PECS and the Pyramid Approach, we offer a variety of consultation services based in the home, school, community and also in our clinic in Brighton.

Pyramid is the source for PECS, the Picture Exchange Communication System: an alternative/augmentative communication system that teaches students to initiate spontaneous communication in a social context from the outset. The PECS Training Manual >>, (currently available in English, Spanish and French editions) supports the implementation of PECS, and the Pyramid Approach to Education >> provides more detailed theoretical and practical perspectives.
