Objective:

To identify predictors of successful Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) training in children with communication impairments.

Approach:

• Study Design: A real-world intervention study conducted in a resource-limited setting.
• Participants: Children with communication challenges undergoing PECS training.
• Data Collection: Data were collected retrospectively, ensuring anonymity and confidentiality.

Key Findings:

• Identified factors that predict successful PECS training outcomes.
• Insights gained from practical implementation in a resource-constrained environment.

Interpretation:

Limitations:

• The study's retrospective nature may limit the generalizability of findings.
• Conducted in a specific resource-limited setting, which may not reflect broader contexts.

Conclusion:

The findings contribute to understanding the factors influencing PECS training effectiveness.
