Home » Environment Themed PECS

The Tree Council, autistic artist James Owen Thomas and Pyramid Educational Consultants have collaborated to design and produce a special edition set of environmental themed PECS^® symbols. The symbols have been produced to help adults and children with complex communication needs understand the environmental crisis and begin to communicate their passion for action.

James, a talented artist and a Young Tree Champion Ambassador with The Tree Council, a national environmental charity, feels a deep sense of connection with the natural world. Like many young people his age, he is very concerned about the environment. Through his incredible artwork, James has inspired thousands of Young Tree Champions in schools across the UK to connect and protect nature. James leads on engagement with Special Needs Schools, and learning from his own communication challenges, he decided to create a set of symbols to help others with similar challenges understand and communicate their passion to tackle the crisis.
