The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) for Comprehensive Sexuality Education is a helpful resource created by Blind Youth Association Nepal for people with autism. This tool uses simple pictures to help those who have trouble with verbal communication learn about their bodies, personal space, and staying safe. Our PECS package includes easy-to-understand materials that help individuals with autism communicate their needs and feelings about personal topics. These resources also give parents, teachers, and caregivers simple ways to talk about body safety and appropriate touch in a respectful way that's easy to understand.
