Pictello
Visual stories that speak for themselves
Create and share visual social stories and schedules with this app for iOS. Adding your own pictures, videos and recordings to stories you create makes it easier to share information while building literacy skills, as well as confidence in storytelling.
Share your world
Social stories, schedules and recounting what you did during the holiday can be much more powerful and fun with visuals and a voiceover. Pictello makes it easy to create a story step by step. It also makes them much more effective by letting you add realistic details like photos, videos, and audio recordings. The Text to Speech voices included in the app are also helpful if you want to use voiceovers.
This app is used by people with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, selective mutism, and other diagnoses.
