Proloquo2Go



As the Proloquo2Go website says...."it is an AAC device for your pocket." What this essentially means is that it is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication that is portable...which is convenient for any user! When looking at the Proloquo Assis
tiveware on the Ipod touches over the last few classes, I was reminded at how far we've come with technology...it is funny because I see the value in the GoTalk for some users...but even it now appears to be archaic next to the functionality, usability and portability of Proloquo2Go on the Ipod-touch.

As we had the opportunity to explore it's functions and settings, the importance of se
tting up grids with categories and layers that are appropriate for the user became very clear. We must be continuously aware of the user and take into account that consistency is key.

As an appropriate match Proloquo2Go offers a communication s
olution to people who are non verbal or who have difficulty speaking.

Proloquo2Go: AAC in Your Pocket!

The following is a student using Proloquo2Go on his Ipod touch to present his book report to his classmates. It left me wondering...what could this student do without AAC?
