这项研究的目的是检验Garfinkle和Schwartz(1994)制定的PECS与同伴协议的有效性，该协议使用图片交换通信系统(PECS)作为增加残疾人与其同龄人之间的社会交流的一种手段。两名患有严重沟通障碍和发育障碍的女性作为参与者，一名患有发育障碍的男性和一名非残疾的女性作为他们的同龄人。采用跨越行为(即问候、请求和回应)的多重基线设计来评估PECS在社会交流中的有效性，并检查使用PECS是否会导致参与者言语交流的增加。这两位参与者都使用与同伴的PECS增加了他们的社交互动，也都表现出了对语言交流的普遍偏好。社会效度问卷显示，教师和家长认为社交技能很重要，这种干预是有帮助的。
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the PECS with Peers protocol developed by Garfinkle and Schwartz (1994), which uses The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) as a means of increasing social communication between individuals with disabilities and their peers. Two females with severe communication delays and developmental disabilities served as participants and one male with developmental disabilities and one female without disabilities acted as their peers. A multiple baseline across behaviors (i.e., greetings, requests, and responses) design was used to assess the effectiveness of PECS on social communication as well as to examine whether using PECS led to increases in the participants' verbal communication. Both participants increased their social interactions using PECS with their peer and also demonstrated a general preference for verbal communication. Social validity questionnaires indicated that teachers and parents found the social communication skills to be important and that this intervention was helpful.
