Visual Cue vs Social Quest

Visual Cue helps children and adults who think in pictures get through the day with less stress. Show what's happening now, what's next, and what they're working for, with clear pictures and a spoken voice. Built for autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, speech delays, and anyone who benefits from visual supports, at home, at school, and in therapy. YOUR DAY, IN PICTURES • Visual Cues for each day: everyday routines plus one-off events, in the order they happen • A calendar to plan ahead: every day, school days, chosen weekdays, or just once, with optional times • Name special days like "First Day of School" or "Travel", and see US holidays such as Thanksgiving and Halloween, each with its own picture board • Gentle reminders at the time you set, plus one reminder each morning TWO WAYS TO RUN A SCHEDULE • Cue Focused: one large picture at a time, with Done, Skip, and an optional step timer • Working For: every picture stays in view so the person sees what's coming and chooses what to do next MORE VISUAL TOOLS • First–Then boards • Choice Boards: offer a few pictures and let them choose • Visual Cue Boards: tap a picture to hear it • Token boards: earn stars toward a reward that appears as stars are earned • Visual Timer: the picture is revealed as time runs out • Count Up and Countdown: tap to count, with every number spoken • Quick Access: First–Then and Touch Choice in one tap, for on-the-spot moments STARS, STREAKS, AND BADGES Every finished step, checked-off cue, and token earns a star. Reach the daily goal, keep a streak, level up, and collect badges. Nothing is ever taken away, so progress always feels good. FOR PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND THERAPISTS • A clear report: steps done and skipped, active days, the most-used routine, and the step that's skipped most often • Export your data to a spreadsheet to share with your team • Separate profiles for each person MAKE IT YOURS • Starter library of Visual Cues in a clear, friendly style • Use your own photos or take one with the camera • Record your own voice, or use the built-in speech • Pictures without words by default, with an option to show them PRIVATE AND OFFLINE Everything stays on your device.
