Baccare
Practice at home with the supports your child already uses at school.
Your child's 504 plan or IEP lists what helps in class: extra time, directions read aloud, fewer problems at once, a calm pace. Baccare lets you set the same kinds of supports for practice at home. You set them once, and every activity, game and Ask Bacc conversation follows them. You never tell us a diagnosis, and we never ask for one.
Free for 14 days. Pre-K through 8th grade in reading and writing, math, science and social studies, plus beginning Spanish from kindergarten, every activity tied to the Texas standard it practices.
Common supports, and where they live in Baccare
Plans differ, and your child's school team decides what goes in a 504 plan or an IEP. These are supports parents often see in a plan, and the Baccare setting that gives a similar support at home.
| Often in a plan | In Baccare | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Extended time | No clock on games; More time to think helps | Practice has no clock. Learn games switch to no-clock modes, and Ask Bacc waits, repeats and rephrases instead of rushing. |
| Directions or questions read aloud | Read it to me | Questions can be read aloud, in English or Spanish. |
| Chunked directions, one step at a time | One step at a time | Instructions come in short steps, and Ask Bacc explains one step before the next. |
| Reduced number of items | Questions per round | You choose how many questions a round has. Your child can adjust it too. |
| Short work periods and breaks | Short sessions | Activities are built for about ten minutes, and arcade games and Fact Race can be paused. |
| Simplified language | Simpler wording helps | Ask Bacc uses simpler words and one idea per sentence, and defines new words right away. |
| Reduced visual distraction | Fewer animations | Animations and confetti stop. Baccare also follows the device's "reduce motion" setting. |
| Fine-motor supports | Bigger buttons | Larger tap targets. Ask Bacc counts the thinking even when writing is hard. |
| A calm, predictable routine | Schoolwork brings worry; Predictable, literal instructions help | No countdowns, steady encouragement, small wins named, the same structure each time, no idioms or surprises. |
| Practice on paper | Printables | Worksheets and study notes to print, matched to the same standards. |
| Something else | "What helps most," in your words | Write what works, for example "Extra time on tests" or "Needs directions repeated." Ask Bacc reads it in every conversation. |
How to set it up
What we never ask for
Baccare never asks whether your child has a plan, never asks for a diagnosis, and does not store one. The supports describe what helps, not why. If a diagnosis is typed into Ask Bacc, the word is replaced with "[removed]" before anything is saved, and the "what helps most" box does not accept the name of a condition. You can export or delete everything any time.
Working with your child's specialists
If your child sees a speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, educational therapist or tutor who uses Baccare, you can join their caseload with a six-letter code. They can then see the supports you set, so the practice they send home fits. Nothing is shared until you enter the code, and you can end it any time. How it works for specialists.
What Baccare is, and is not
- Baccare is practice and homework help at home. It is not a school service, and it does not carry out, replace or change your child's 504 plan or IEP.
- It does not evaluate children for disabilities, decide eligibility, or diagnose anything. Its skills check only shows which topics to practice. Questions about your child's plan belong with the school's 504 or ARD committee.
- Progress by Texas standard can be useful to bring to a plan meeting, as one more picture of how practice at home is going. It is not a test score or an assessment.

Questions
Does my child need a 504 plan or an IEP to use these supports?
No. Any family can turn on any support. Many children who learn differently do not have a plan at all.
Does Baccare tell my child's school?
No. Nothing goes to a school unless you join a teacher's classroom or a specialist's caseload with their code, and even then a classroom teacher sees only whether assigned work is done, plus progress if you choose to share it.
Can the school require Baccare as an accommodation?
Baccare is a family product. Your child's school team decides what goes in a plan; Baccare is for practice at home.
What does it cost?
14 days free, then $14.99 a month or $119 a year for up to three children. Card at sign-up, with a $1 parent-verification charge that comes off your first bill; cancel before day 15 and you pay only that $1. See pricing.
