A step towards autonomy with our visual agenda app, with sequences and pictograms

Our little brother Pablo likes to know what he will do during his day, his medical appointments, and his departure on vacation.

A clear schedule reduces his anxiety and prepares him for upcoming events. Small problem: his weekly planner is not portable and can hardly be modified.

For nearly a year, we have been working on an app that allows him to easily check his schedule.

We want him to be helped to perform tasks independently, such as brushing his teeth.

Pablo is now 18 years old, and we want him to gain autonomy and eventually work one day.

We are proud to present Pictalk Buddy.

The sequencer is a very useful tool for accomplishing tasks independently, whether in daily life or professionally. Sequences are often linked to specific moments of the day, making them perfect to be integrated into Pictalk Buddy.
Currently, Pictalk Buddy sends only one notification at the start of an event, which is not ideal. Like traditional agendas, it would be preferable to receive several notifications before the event.

Professionals already use calendars like Outlook, Google Calendar... Why not integrate them into our app?
The goal of Pictalk Buddy is to offer an interface that makes content accessible to everyone! This will save a significant amount of time.
But, Fred, how do we do this for educators or professionals in facilities who host dozens of people daily?
You'll agree they would appreciate the ability to manage multiple calendars and have shared events.
