PECS is an awesome system. The more it saturates your life, home, etc., the better. Is Nico very visual? Fortunately for us, Gwen is, so responded tremendously to having a visual communication/guide system.
Also I am told that there is a program (I think for the iPad?) that uses the PECS visual symbols in a way where the kids can hit them and have it produce speech... I'll try to root out my reference for that and pass it on.
One thing to ask the therapists is whether Nico is a good candidate for an augmentative communication device a la the Dynovox, PRC Vantage or similar.
