Save time. Support better. Without breaking the bank.
Pictalk Buddy is a robust visual communication, planning, and sequencing application designed for medico-social establishments. Compatible with your existing devices, easy to use, and accessible to families with a pay-what-you-want pricing.
Without Pictalk Buddy, what does daily life look like in your facility?
Count what you really spend: in money, time, and energy.
| Without Pictalk Buddy | With Pictalk membership | |
| Tools | Work on Word, content printing, separate apps | A single dedicated application |
| Collaboration | Content sent by email, hard drive or USB key. | Content shared in real time and secure |
| Content update | Edit on computer and reprint if possible | Instant editing from phone, tablet or computer |
| Customization | Generic content for everyone, otherwise too time-consuming. | Adapted to each user, according to their needs |
| Family access | Different tool at home — or none | Same tool for families and professionals |
| Support | You manage yourself | Priority support, assisted onboarding, dedicated contact |
| Actual cost | Professional time + device licenses + printing | Single membership for the whole organization |
The real cost of a bad tool is the time your teams no longer have to provide support.

They use Pictalk Buddy every day
Julie, special education teacher at a special education center
I used to spend an hour every week preparing my group's schedule on Word, with constant adjustments. With Pictalk Buddy, I do it in less than five minutes from my phone, and I can modify it in real time if the day changes.
Joris, special education teacher in a Special education center
I used to spend an hour at the end of each week completing, printing, and attaching the life books. Due to lack of time, I rarely updated them — and that’s a shame, because this link between the parents and the team really matters for the development of the young people. With Buddy, a photo, a few pictograms, and everyone stays connected. Without any rewriting.
Marie, occupational therapist in a special education center
Before, I used generic printed sequencers. With Pictalk Buddy, I customize each tool for each profile, and I manage everything from my phone. My patients finally have a tool that suits them.
You have better things to do than struggle with a tool
