Why We Model Language and Honor All Communication, instead of Using PECS® - Therapist Neurodiversity Collective

Today in a virtual Zoom therapy session, the parent asked me why I don't use PECS® in speech therapy (with non-speaking or minimally speaking Autistic children). After watching her child laugh, dance, and have fun during therapy, after watching them imitate action verbs, and spontaneously communicate a desire, spontaneously point to my assistant and me on the screen, and smile at us all, it became clear to this parent that there are different kinds of therapy sessions. This kind isn't all about compliance.
