Picture Communication Symbols

created by Mayer-Johnson

The PCS library consists of over 10,000 simple line drawings designed to represent words and short phrases to support children and adults with communication challenges. PCS can be used to augment expressive communication and improve comprehension.

Developed over the past 25 years and translated into 44 languages, PCS is the most widely used symbol set in the field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). AAC systems range of paper-based communication boards to high-tech speech generating devices.
