PictoStep: Visual Schedule

Increase everyday "I did it!" moments. A visual support and picture card app for children with developmental delays.

PictoStep is a visual support application that helps you organize daily schedules and routines using picture cards, making it easy for children to see exactly what to do next at a glance.

For parents who struggle with "morning routines taking too long," "verbal instructions being hard to understand," or "children feeling anxious about unexpected plans."
Designed as a "digital routine board," PictoStep gently supports daily life, helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, and visual learners to act more independently.

[Key Features of PictoStep]

◆ Visual Timer and Time Display for Clear Transitions
You can set not only the "start time" and "end time" for each schedule but also a task duration (visual timer). For children who struggle with the abstract concept of time, a visual timer makes it clear "when it will end," helping them transition smoothly to the next activity without meltdowns.

◆ Set Custom Photos to Relieve Destination Anxiety
In addition to the pre-loaded illustrations, you can set "actual photos" of real-world places like therapy centers, hospitals, and outings on the cards. By showing "when" and "where" you are going in advance with real photos, you can ease your child's anxiety about schedule changes or new environments, creating a predictable and comforting schedule.

◆ Reward System to Bring Out a Sense of Achievement
When a child completes a task and taps the "All Done!" button, sparkling stars are collected on the screen. By visualizing their successful experiences and "I did it!" moments, it boosts their motivation, encourages positive behavior, and builds self-esteem.

◆ Sensory-Friendly Sound On/Off Settings
You can easily turn the app's sound effects and background music on or off to suit your child's specific sensory needs. Whether your child has auditory sensitivities or you simply need to use the app in a quiet public environment, you can use it stress-free.

◆ Intuitive Visual Schedule Management
Simply line up picture cards for daily tasks like "Breakfast," "Brushing Teeth," and "Bath." The app beautifully displays "Now" and "Next" on your smartphone or tablet, supporting your child to check their own schedule and move to the next task without confusion.

◆ Print and Make a Physical "Routine Board" (PDF Export)
Schedules created in the app can be saved and printed as a PDF file. You can stick them on your wall or fridge to use as a physical routine board, or cut them out to carry around as portable PECS-style communication cards.

◆ Parental Controls (Safe Design)
Important actions, such as upgrading to the Premium version, are safely protected by a math quiz (parental gate). This safe design prevents accidental in-app purchases or settings changes when your child is using the device by themselves.

The accumulation of everyday "I did it!" moments will lead to great confidence in your child.
