Proloquo2Go is one of the few AAC apps that covers all users, from beginning to advanced communicators, while catering for a wide range of fine-motor, visual and cognitive skills. "Users can open Proloquo2Go and begin to use it for effective communication immediately." – Susan Berkowitz, MS-SLP, AAC Consultant. Its innovative features provide support for parents, teachers and therapists to implement AAC best practices.
It is designed to promote growth of communication skills and foster language development through research-based vocabularies. This means that the beginning communicator (and you as the person modeling for the AAC user), has to re-learn where everything is each time you change the grid size.Proloquo2Go is an award-winning symbol-supported communication app providing a voice to over 125,000 individuals who cannot speak. While we’ve tried to keep the buttons in the same general area from grid size to grid size, it’s impossible to keep them in exactly the same place. However, every time you increase the grid size, the buttons move to a different place in the new grid. As the communicator learns new vocabulary, the grid size is increased again. This gives a simpler display, while including the “next step” vocabulary you need to model. Sometimes people try to work around this problem by picking a grid size that’s just a little above the beginning communicator’s current level. With a grid size that contains only the words that a beginning communicator is already using, it’s really tough to model that next step for them! Increasing the grid size Research into teaching AAC shows that it is most effective to model language that’s a slightly higher level than the communicator is already using. We make things harder for ourselves also. But what we end up doing is making it harder for beginning communicators to explore language and develop new skills!
There are fewer buttons to visually scan, and the buttons are bigger. When we set a smaller number of buttons per screen, we’re trying to make things easier for beginning communicators. “play” is an action word that is found in Actions.“we” is a pronoun and you need to go to People > Pronouns to find it.“can” and “with” are helper words that are found in Little Words.You’ll need to understand and remember that: On a smaller grid size, like 5x9, only the word “that” is available on the home page! You can still say this sentence on 5x9, but it will require a lot more navigating and a lot more language knowledge. On 7x11 all the words you need are right on the home page. large grid sizeįor example, let’s say you wanted to say “Can we play with that now”. You don’t have to remember which folder a word is in and then navigate there. With more language available at a glance, you can quickly recognize the words you want to use. Choosing a large grid size gives you the most language on a single screen. Ever since we released our first core word vocabulary in multiple grid sizes, back in Proloquo2Go 2.0, we’ve been recommending that people choose the largest grid size they can use.
