Just looked through this for the first time. Fascinating for me as I am an SALT for people with special needs. Feel that I am getting an insight into parents' minds , something that isn't always easy.
Do any of you use PECS at home, with/without ABA? I have been working on this for a while and consider the two to be the most exciting stuff I have come across in 12 years in this field (although as some of you note, some SALTS are suspicious of it, which drives me nuts as I don't think they understand what it is about.)
Do ypu find using these methods at home sustainable, or is it too much bother and fuss? I would love to know. I have introduced it with some dramatic results to some of the families and schools I work with, but now that I have gone abroad to live, I worry about their ability to carry on.
BTW if you have any questions about SALT, I would be glad to try and help. help. Time lies heavy on my hands in a new country.......
