Her research in this area has been among the most systematic in the field and has firmly established behavioral approaches as preferred methods for assessment and treatment.

The app looks like a PECS communication book; it is also an invaluable tool for teaching picture
discrimination. This app is not intended to replace the learner’s PECS communication book, but
rather to serve as an aid to practice discrimination techniques and strategies with one or several
learners within a single lesson. Touching the correct icon will result in immediate visual and
auditory feedback from the device in a manner far quicker than a teacher could react. If the learner
touches an incorrect icon, there is no significant feedback. A correct picture selection results in
access to a desired item or activity.
