Should I use the PECS book or the Boards? 

The answer is: use both

I encourage use of the PECS book at home. But, it is difficult for the PECS book can not be in a stationary location. I have found that even if it is and lets say the child is in the basement, he most likely would not go upstairs to the kitchen to get a picture from his book.  

The boards were created to be used in addition to the PECS book. Their purpose:

1) To increase the number of interactions with the family through his use of PECS

2) To show him/remind him of some options of what he can ask for  

3) To increase the use of visual aides at home as they provide guidance and a sense of structure for the child.  This is often something desperately needed at home.

The boards are not a replacement for the book.  I always encourage use of the PECS book.
