SnapThen: Visual Schedules

snapthen

About this app

For those tough transitions, make life that little bit easier.

Getting out of the car. Leaving the park. Turning off the TV for bath time. For many autistic and non-verbal children, the moment one thing ends and the next begins is the hardest part of the day, and it can turn stressful for everyone very quickly.

SnapThen shows your child what's happening now, and what comes next, using your own photos. Their front door, then their favourite show. Shoes, then the swing. Pictures of their own world, ready in seconds on the phone that's already in your hand.

SIMPLE ON PURPOSE
• Nothing to carry and no menus to dig through: open a board and show it
• Make a board in about two minutes: name it, choose 2 to 5 steps, add a photo to each
• Add a short label or record a few words in your own voice, only if it helps
• Reuse saved photos to build the next board in seconds
• Works offline, wherever you are

MADE BY A PARENT
SnapThen was built by a dad whose daughter didn't take to her AAC device, but understood straight away when he showed her a photo of where they were going and what came next. It's made for the car park, the park gate and the supermarket queue: the moments when a laminated card or a full AAC system isn't to hand.

A SIMPLE FORM OF AAC
SnapThen is AAC for understanding what comes next: a first-then visual support on your phone. It doesn't give a child a voice like a speech-generating device does, and it works happily alongside one. Visual supports are widely recognised in autism research as an evidence-based approach.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account and no cloud. Boards, photos and recordings stay on your device in normal use. Share a board or make a backup only when you choose.
