Abstract
The current experimental research aimed to standardize the
adapted version of PECS for autistic children in Pakistan. The
Adapted PECS was standardized by an experimental study on
autistic children and normal children. As an adequate sample
size of autistic children was difficult to collect, so a sample of
normal children was also taken along with autistic children for
standardization of PECS in Pakistan. Primary data was collected
by deploying simple random sampling (sample of 70 normal
children) and convenience sampling (sample of 30 autistic
children). Statistics used to determine reliability and validity. An
adapted version of PECS justifies the criteria of a suitable sample
size, concurrent validity, predictive validity, measures of central
tendency and variability, test-retest reliability, and inter-rater
reliability. The data analysis results illustrated that adapted
version of PECS is a valid and reliable tool to be managed in
Pakistan for autistic children
