PandaPal - Autism Communication System is a communication tool that aims to facilitate exchange of information and enhance language skills, conceived by Kim Scott-DeLand, M.S., CCC-SLP, a Speech-Language Pathologist. This system enables non-verbal individuals to communicate by utilizing icons and sentence strips. PandaPal has shown efficacy in improving speech and language capabilities in numerous children with autism worldwide. The application features real photos, pioneering the use of authentic images and introducing a unique "touch and hold" function to prevent errors in icon activation. Guided by a charming gender-neutral panda character, PandaPal serves as a constant companion for your child's communication needs.
