Store description excerpt

PandaPal - Autism Communication System is a user-friendly communication tool that has been proven over the past 7 years to help facilitate communication and improve language skills, designed by Kim Scott-DeLand, M.S., CCC-SLP, Speech-Language Pathologist. This communication system allows non-verbal children and adults to exchange information by activating icons and creating sentence strips to exchange information. PandaPal has proven to improve the speech and language skills of thousands of children with autism in over 200 countries and growing! PandaPal was the first original application to use real photos and has its unique “touch and hold” button to avoid mistakes and over-activation of icons. PandaPal uses an adorable gender-neutral panda bear, your child’s pal, to help him/her communicate throughout the day! 3 APPS IN ONE! • “First & Then,” “Schedule Board” and an “AAC device” are all included in Panda Pal. PANDA PAL PRO • Panda Pal comes with 12 common categories, however the Pro Version allows the user to add as many photos/categories as needed. • Categories can be deleted, added or replaced and customized to meet the needs of the user. • Once a category is selected the user is taken to a new screen of that chosen page. • Each page comes with a sample of approximately 20+ icons, all of which can also be modified to meet the specific needs of the user. • PandaPal is as customizable as you would like to make it (photo, audio, word) and accessible in ALL languages! REAL HD PHOTOS • App uses real photos, so you won't see any confusing abstract drawings. • Kim has found that by using real photos her clients are more successful with communication and demonstrated 70% less frustration and confusion. SIGN LANGUAGE PHOTOS • Used for certain high frequency words such as; “want,” “please,” “yes/no” and "more." CUSTOMIZE AUDIO • This entire app was designed to be modified to meet the individual needs of the user and to allow for language growth. • Words, phrases and entire messages are recorded in digitized speech, however users can choose to re-record in their own voice or a familiar voice of mom/dad or a sibling, which has been proven to help children with autism feel more comfortable and help develop verbal speech. • Real speech provides natural prosody and allows the user to hear and model accurate speech as opposed to unnatural ‘robotic speech.’ INCIDENTAL LEARNING • Achieved by teaching your child to read by placing words directly on top or below each photo, you can modify this in settings. • Font size and color can be modified to meet your needs. TOUCH-AND-HOLD • A unique, one-of-a-kind feature, designed by Kim Scott-DeLand, M.S., CCC-SLP, to help prevent small hands from unintentionally tapping the wrong icons. • When this feature is turned on, it requires that you touch and hold the intended icon for one second, as displayed by a progress meter before activation occurs. • Now for the first time, users can touch icons
