Describe the day — BabelDeck draws it. BabelDeck makes visual support in under a minute. Tell it what's happening — a morning, a dentist visit, a new routine — and get a finished picture schedule with images that actually fit. When the day changes, redo it in ten seconds. Visual support means showing, with pictures, what's hard to say or remember. It makes the abstract concrete, the day predictable, and communication possible — when words don't come. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE • Picture schedules and daily plans, step by step • Communication boards and cards to point at • First-then cards for transitions • Choice boards and emotion charts • Social stories for new situations • Text-to-speech — tap a picture, hear the word AI THAT HELPS, NOT TAKES OVER Can't find the right picture?

And for preschools, schools, clinics, and speech-language pathologists who need to go from idea to finished material fast. No training. No fuss. MADE WITH AND FOR People with autism, ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions, language disorders, intellectual disabilities, aphasia after stroke, dementia — and anyone who understands better with pictures, including new language learners. ACCESSIBLE FROM THE GROUND UP Clear layout, high contrast, adjustable text size, and plain language. Print your schedules when a screen isn't the right fit. PRICING Free to start: 2 boards and AI images to try, no card needed. Plus: $4.99/month for unlimited boards, 30 AI images a month, and priority support.
