Who could use Proloquo2Go?

People who either cannot speak or have difficulty speaking as a result of conditions that they have experienced from birth (cerebral palsy, autism, apraxia, developmental disabilities, etc.) or conditions that came later in life, such as ALS, stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc. who have the physical capability to access the device. It is important to note that AAC users span a full range of age, physical and cognitive ability and the key is to give them a mechanism to "speak" for themselves.

Proloquo2Go can also be used as a companion to a table top device or as a user’s sole AAC device.

How Does Proloquo2Go Work?

If you know how to use an iPod touch, iPad or iPhone you know how to use Proloquo2Go. While Proloquo2Go has many advanced features, the basics are extremely simple and easy.

• Use the Grid or List view to quickly tap items that optionally speak as they get inserted into the Message window.
• Hold one of the items to automatically get access to conjugations, plurals or possessives.
• Tap the message window to speak your sentence.
• Hit the plus button to permanently add the sentence to your vocabulary in a category of choice.
• Select the Recents view and have Proloquo2Go speak one of the things you said an hour ago.
• Tap the plus button if you want to add this to your vocabulary. Select a symbol for your new item in the Symbol Chooser or pick a photo from your library, or, on the iPhone, take a picture.
• Go to the Typing view and use the iPhone keyboard to type a paragraph. Hit save and your text is auto-magically symbolized.
• Have it your way: Go to the Proloquo2Go section of the iPhone/iPod Settings App and Disable images, have smaller or bigger items, change background and text colors, restrict editing and more.

What is the base vocabulary - VocaSpace?

The basic structure of Proloquo2Go is made to utilize the best of both worlds: word-based construction and powerful phrases. So whether you are chatting with a friend, answering a question, or constructing a story, the interface is designed to be easy and effective for a broad range of individuals.

While VocaSpace covers a wide range of communication needs it is meant to be used as a starting point for your own custom vocabulary. With the powerful and easy editing features of Proloquo2Go, you can very quickly create novel core vocabulary sets.
