Alternative communication.
To evaluate the efficacy of the adapted Pecs and Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) in the communication of a child with cerebral palsy.
The participant of this study was a 9 year and 10 months old girl, with athetoid quadriplegia. All stages of the adapted Pecs were applied (Walter, 2000), using the PCS pictures (Johnson, 1998), associated with the functional curriculum proposed by LeBlanc (1991). An experimental AB Design was used in order to test the procedures.
The subject was able to pass through all of the adapted Pecs phases and to use her communication board in school activities.
The adapted Pecs proved to be effective in improving the subject's communication abilities.
替代沟通。
评估适应性图片交换沟通系统（PECS）和图片沟通符号（PCS）在一名脑瘫儿童沟通中的效果。
本研究的参与者是一名9岁10个月大的女孩，患有手足徐动型四肢瘫痪。采用适应性PECS的所有阶段（沃尔特，2000年），使用PCS图片（约翰逊，1998年），并结合勒布朗（1991年）提出的功能课程。采用实验性AB设计来测试这些程序。
该受试者能够通过适应性PECS的所有阶段，并在学校活动中使用她的沟通板。
适应性PECS被证明在提高受试者的沟通能力方面是有效的。
