Proloquo2Go!

I will be the first to admit that I am often a very slow learner when it comes to technology. I didn’t have my own computer with internet access until I was 26 yrs old. Sometimes I can feel very overwhelmed with technology however, today was not one of those days.

Today in our assistive technology session we learned how to use Proloquo2Go which is an ‘app’ that can be purchased for the iPod Touch. I was amazed at how easy and fun it was to use.

Proloquo2Go is a fantastic piece of software that can be used to help students who have difficulties with communication. You can program different phrases or words that an individual might need to say on a daily basis and all the student has to do is press the icon and the words or phrases are spoken out loud.

If you can imagine an individual who is non-verbal, Proloquo2Go opens up endless possibilities for that person. They can be given the opportunity to communicate how they feel and what they need. It is a really incredible application for the iPod Touch and certainly worth the cost. To learn more about Proloquo2Go follow the link below.
