Woodbine House, 2011. Softcover. New. A Picture's Worth, the PECS primer written by the developers of the Picture Exchange Communication System, is now available in a second edition. This user-friendly guide introduces PECS, a simple and empowering communication tool in which partners exchange cards with photos or line drawings representing objects, attributes, and actions. A child or adult who has delayed or no speech can easily express his basic desires (e.g., "ice cream") or needs using a PECS card without prompting from another. And as a person's PECS usage progresses, he or she learns to put pictures together in sentences to express desires (e.g., "I want chocolate ice cream."), to comment, and to ask questions. A Picture's Worth examines verbal communication development and how autism affects these skills, and shows how a child's poor communication skills can lead to problem behaviors. Providing communication options -- PECS and the other augmentative and alternative communication strategies (AAC) -- described in the book -- reduces frustration and enhances learning. This new edition cites research that proves PECS (and other AAC strategies) doesn't interfere with the development of speaking skills, and actually can provide a boost to the acquisition of these skills. There's also expanded information on: . Deciding whether a child needs AAC and could benefit from PECS . Who is an appropriate candidate for PECS . Error correction strategies during the initial stages of PECS . How to choose challenging behaviors to try to eliminate . What to do when a child does not look at pictures Thousands of people with autism and other disabilities have benefited from using PECS. The book's complete set of introductory lessons makes it easy for parents and therapists to get started using this low-tech strategy to help young children through adults develop effective communication skills! Lori Frost, M.S., CCC-SLP, is a speech/language pathologist and Andy Bondy, PhD is a behavior analyst. They co-developed the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), an evidence-based practice that is used around the world to promote functional communication. They co-authored the PECS Training Manual, 2nd Edition and Autism 24/7 as well as many book chapters and peer-reviewed articles. 160 pages. 2011, Woodbine House, 2011, McGraw Hill Education, 2014. 4th edition.

This gap can be bridged by creating understandable, focused, thoughtful data presentation tools. These tools -- whether in the form of reporting, dashboards, visualizations, or KPIs --require unique skills to shape the data to the needs of different audiences. More broadly, organizations need to recognize that creating, distributing and refining these tools takes careful thought. They require a culture that values the impact of data on decision-making, a willingness to test new data presentation tools and flexibility to adjust and refine these tools to make them more useful.

For more than three decades, Self Help Graphics & Art has been a national model for community-based art making and art-based community making. Through its innovative printmaking and other programs, Self Help has empowered local artists and reached out to the world beyond East Los Angeles with the vibrancy of Chicano/Latino art. In this CSRC book on the organization, historian Kristen Guzmán (a recent UCLA Ph.D. graduate and now an assistant professor of history at Santa Ana College) draws on archival sources and on interviews with artists to compose a historical essay that tells the story of this remarkable organization. The guide to the archives was created and contributed by the California Ethnic and Multicultural Archives (CEMA) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, which houses the Self Help Graphics archives. The book's editor is Colin Gunckel, a doctoral student and CSRC graduate research associate. Part of the "UCLA in LA" initiative, this book comes out of a partnership between the CSRC and CEMA. In addition to the historical essay, the book includes a finding aid to the CEMA archives and a note on strategic partnerships between the public university and community-based arts. Self Help Graphics & Art has been the leading visual arts center serving the Los Angeles community for the past thirty years., UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, 2005<
