How it works

1

Daily Practice

PAN | DA suggests what to practise next based on your child's communication level and previous sessions. Just 5–10 minutes a day — consistency matters more than length.

2

Practise together

Choose an activity and practise together. Repeat words, find the right picture, recognise real sounds or use familiar words in everyday phrases. The app speaks every word aloud.

3

Keep track of what you practise

See what you practised, how often and how many answers were correct. Export a PDF summary — useful for tracking progress or sharing with a speech therapist.

The same words. Eleven ways to practise.

Repeat is free. Premium adds ten more activities: finding pictures, recognising sounds, everyday phrases, matching pairs, find in a sentence, odd one out, what is it for?, what goes together?, which group? and follow directions.

For example, in Find: the app says a word out loud, and your child points to the matching picture among a few options.

Why we built PAN | DA

When our son was still communicating very little at preschool and we finally met with a speech and language therapist, we were advised to make him a communication book with pictures and words to help build his vocabulary. We also tried several apps, but none worked as simply as we needed.

That is how PAN | DA began — as a simple app we could use for short practice anytime and anywhere. It gradually grew with our son: everyday phrases, sounds and different ways to practise were added to the first words. Because he is growing up with Czech and English, it was important from the start that he could practise the same vocabulary in both languages.

Our son has developmental dysphasia, and his experience has shaped the app. PAN | DA can also support other young children learning first words, expanding their vocabulary or growing up with more than one language.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the app for?

PAN | DA is for children learning to communicate — whether for first words, late talkers or extra speech support between therapy sessions (including children with speech delay or developmental dysphasia), or multilingual families. There is no strict age limit; the communication level setting matters more than age.

Does it replace a speech therapist?

No. PAN | DA is a home practice tool, not a diagnostic or therapeutic instrument. It works best alongside speech therapy — we recommend consulting your therapist on goals and progress.

Is PAN | DA suitable for children with developmental dysphasia or speech delay?

Yes. The app focuses on vocabulary, sentence building and comprehension — areas children with speech delay or developmental dysphasia often need to practise. For specific goals and guidance, we recommend consulting a speech and language therapist; PAN | DA complements that care, it doesn't replace it.

How does Daily Practice work?

Every day PAN | DA picks a small set of words to practise. It remembers what your child has already seen and gradually brings words back for review. This helps you choose what to focus on during a short practice session.

What data does the app store?

Child settings, practice history and custom cards are stored on your device or synced through private iCloud storage. The current version also sends pseudonymous information about taps and app usage to PAN | DA's own server to improve the app. Photos and the child's name are not included in these statistics. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Does the app work offline?

Yes. You can use the cards, sounds and spoken words without an internet connection. A connection is used for iCloud sync, purchases and sending pseudonymous usage statistics.
