As I discussed in my last post, students with autism have difficulty expressing their wants and needs. In order to help these students communicate we use PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) which are small pictures students can point to to express their wants, needs, and feeling. In this post I am going to talk about a certain type of cards called break cards.
These cards help students with autism express their need for a break. When they need to be finished with an activity these cards help the student say what they need. Break cards provide an opportunity for students to communicate in a positive way rather than acting out in a negative way.
