Was going to jump in on meea's thread but thought I had better start a new one. I am interested in exploring PECS for my dd. Can anyone suggest how old a child might need to be to start? dd is nearly 2 but probably has the language understanding of about a 10 month old. Too early?
And can you combing PECS and Makaton? She has just (literally last 6 weeks) started imitating some gestures (clapping, waving) and occasionally signs 'more' (i.e ONLY if I ask her if she wants more ice-cream or yoghurt!) . So I have been planning to follow the makaton route. But very interested to hear any opinions and experiences.
