A portable sequencer

Pictalk Buddy already offers a nice update. Hear ye, hear ye, here are the sequences. Sequencers are an essential tool for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). This can be for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and other disabilities that affect independence. The sequences show the steps to follow for brushing teeth, for example, or setting the table. Here is an example proposed by ARASAAC.

Sequencers contribute to better independence and help complete tasks alone. We understood very early on with Pablo, our younger brother with Down syndrome, that combining the sequences with his agenda is essential. Indeed, the sequences are contextual and can depend on a place or a time of day. 

Pictalk AAC now integrates sequences that can be placed in events. In the "eating" event, you can combine it with the sequence "washing hands" and the sequence "setting the table." Once completed, the sequence appears as validated.

It is also possible to view your sequences independently of the event in the agenda:

We hope that the sequences will help you in your caregiving work and that they will improve the independence of the individuals you support.
