M.C. van der Kooij is a Dutch software publisher that focuses on accessibility solutions, with Picto-Selector being its flagship product designed to support individuals with communication challenges. This specialized application serves educators, therapists, parents, and caregivers who work with people with autism, Down syndrome, or other cognitive disabilities that benefit from visual communication aids. The software enables users to create customized pictogram-based schedules, communication boards, and visual supports using an extensive library of over 28,000 symbols from renowned collections like Sclera and Beta. Picto-Selector's intuitive interface allows for drag-and-drop arrangement of pictograms, text overlay capabilities, and the creation of sequential daily routines that help users understand and navigate their daily activities. The tool has become particularly valuable in special education settings, speech therapy practices, and home environments where visual scheduling reduces anxiety and promotes independence. Beyond basic schedule creation, the software supports multiple languages, offers printing optimization for various paper sizes, and includes features for creating social stories and behavioral supports. The publisher maintains active community engagement, regularly updating symbol libraries and incorporating user feedback to enhance functionality.
