The all-in-one app to improve the lives of people with neurodevelopmental disorders
Pictalk Buddy, designed for people with cognitive disabilities, autism (ASD), or DYS disorders, is an essential aid for independence.
Why work with Pictalk Buddy?
Reducing Crisis Related to the Unexpected
Pablo, a young person with Down syndrome, often feels panic when he has to go to the doctor or in unexpected situations. With Pictalk Agenda, Pablo is notified in advance, allowing him to prepare and manage his anxiety better.
Promoting Independence with Clear Routines
Mathis, a young adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), still depends heavily on his parents for daily tasks. With Pictalk Buddy, Mathis receives timely notifications and is guided step by step with visuals and a synthesized voice. This helps him accomplish tasks independently, such as brushing his teeth.
Support work in adapted environments
Mathilde works in a workshop for green spaces. Thanks to Pictalk Buddy, she can anticipate the tools she will need and the place of intervention. This reduces her stress and increases her productivity.
For organizations and caregivers, Pictalk Buddy for professionals offers specific features to better organize work in adapted environments.

"The diary allows the person to gain autonomy. We use the same images as on the Pictalk application which is a real support in communication and the expression of speech. Since using it, the person I support has really gained in expression, in self-confidence, people consider them more"

For professionals: Enhance the welcome and simplify the work of teams
Pictalk Buddy Tutorial: Pro Features
Pictalk Buddy is a solution designed for professionals in the medical-social sector, such as special educators. The application allows you to easily create personalized schedules and share them.
Heading towards Autonomy
An application tailored to the needs of ESMS
We co-designed Pictalk Buddy, particularly the Agenda part, with professionals from the TechLab of APF France Handicap. We then confronted our first version with caregivers and professionals in the medico-social field during two workshops organized by Digimentally. This development process allows Pictalk Buddy to address the issues faced by individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as the constraints of professionals and caregivers.
Reducing Anxiety and Supporting Autonomy
The Pictalk Buddy application, developed in collaboration with users in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), uses advanced digital technologies to help structure the day. It reduces anxiety by providing visual and temporal cues tailored to the needs of individuals with intellectual disabilities or DYS disorders.
