Keywords:
Autism, PECS, Implementation, Training, Barriers.Abstract
This mixed-methods study explored the implementation of the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) by families of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in Saudi Arabia. Quantitative data were collected through a multiple-intervention (ABAB) design with five families, assessing parent implementation accuracy and child communication outcomes across baseline, online training, and in-person training phases. Results indicated steady improvement in both parent accuracy and child correct responses, with the highest gains following in-person training.
