"There's an App for that!" More on Proloquo2Go
Last time I introduced Proloquo2Go the AAC device on the iTouch. As with all assistive technologies finding the right fit to the right student is the most challenging. P2G is not for every student with communication needs. Every AT assessment needs to begin with using the SETT framework. Look at the student, the environment in which he will use the communication device, and the tasks which are asked of him/her. THEN, decide on the tool. I recently met with a parent and the team of professionals working with her daughter. They were trying to decide the right "tool" to meet the daughters' communication needs. While they were impressed with P2G they weren't sure it would address her needs on a daily basis. What they did like was the portability, the ease of programming, the ability to customize pages, and the multiple uses of the iTouch. (Her daughter loves to watch You Tube videos). This parent felt it was a great solution to use in the car and within the community but felt that her Springboard would be better utilized in the school setting.
The great thing about P2G is the price benefit. Now this student has 2 options for using her voice in multiple settings! Learn more about Proloquo2 Go at this website:
