Brief Report : Randomized test of the efficacy of picture exchange communication system on highly generalized picture exchanges in children with ASD . A randomized control trial comparing two social-communication interventions in young children with autism examined far-transfer of the use of picture exchange to communicate . Thirty-six children were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions , one of which was the Picture Exchange Communication System ( PECS ) . All children had access to picture symbols during assessments . Post-treatment measurement of the number of picture exchanges in a far-transfer , assessment context favored the PECS intervention . These findings were interpreted as support for the hypothesis that the PECS curriculum can successfully teach a generalized means of showing coordinated attention to object and person without requiring eye contact to children with ASD .
