Picture Communication Symbols™ Expand your lessons. We all benefit from having symbols in our everyday lives – whether traffic signs, recycle reminders or operating instructions for new appliances. Many people who struggle with language and literacy also rely on symbols to understand written and spoken information and to express themselves. Picture Communication Symbols™ (PCS) are simple drawings that represent everything from single words to full messages. In the classroom, PCS help learners establish a foundation for comprehension so they can develop skills. They help educators expand lessons to meet the needs of different skill sets. The PCS Libraries and Bundles are collections of symbols that give you more options for representing key curriculum concepts, giving learners more opportunities to build skills.

PCS Animations Volumes I & II Fun with animated characters that illustrate grooming, chores and more! Animated PCS help learners understand verbs and expand language and writing skills with animated characters that illustrate basic concepts like movement, chores, grooming, communication and location.
