PECS IV+ is no longer available to purchase for new users!! New users should purchase our latest communication app, PECSTalk™. In the coming weeks, an updated and final version of PECS IV+ will be released to current PECS IV+ users along with step-by-step instructions on how to transition from PECS IV+ to PECSTalk. Those that are interested will have the opportunity to migrate to Pyramid’s newest communication app, PECSTalk, at no charge for 90 days. After the 90 days, users will still be able to migrate to the new app, but a small fee will be charge. PECS IV+ users that do not transition to PECSTalk will continue to have use of the PECS IV+ app on their device, but Pyramid will no longer release future updates.
