It is hard to believe that Proloquo2Go has only been available for four days. The outpouring of support, excitement, and messages from families and practitioners has been very encouraging. One of the early reviews of Proloquo2Go makes me very happy and clarifies the primary aim of its existence.
Proloquo2Go is available on the iPhone App Store.
Late last night, we recieved the acceptance email. We all have been waiting patiently. The emails have been pouring in from families and practitioners of all kinds. The time has finally arrived.
To find out about obtaining Proloquo2Go and about how our partners are making Proloquo2go available for schools and centers to use purchase orders you can visit our webpage.
Proloquo2go: AAC on the iPhone and iPod touch
We are so thankful to present Proloquo2Go version 1.0 to the world. The dream of being able to offer an extremely powerful communication solution that is both available commercially and affordable has been moved forward.
As we launch, there is an image that keeps sticking in my head and makes me smile. It is of a 15 year old walking into high school and using Proloquo2Go an iPod touch to talk. True, it is super cool for kids as well. Yes, we know how adults are wild about the iPhone and iPod touch too. Proloquo2Go will be “cool” for many people, whether it is as an addition to their tabletop device or myabe it is their first dynamic system. Yet, there really seems to be something to it for the teenagers!
Plus at an introductory price of $149 and our partners generously offering bundles at resonable prices, we feel that Proloquo2Go is a terrific value.

Run, don’t walk to checking out this awesome website full of exemplars of students with complex communication needs learning to read and write. The website comes out of the longitudinal research of Dr. Janice Light and Dr. David McNaughton. Additionally, through Dynavox, they have published a curriculum called the ALL Curriculum – Accessible Literacy Learning.
Seeing this video of Schuyler and her family totally made me smile.
It also reminded me of when my very young students got a couple Tango loaners in the mail and they couldn’t get past how very cool all the bubble wrap was that they came packed in! So we talked with the Tangos about bubble wrap.
We just received this very well done video shown on the channel 4 news: Reno student with autism uses technology to communicate.
Proloquo2Go is featured prominently.
It truly is wild to see Proloquo2Go transition from a dream and an idea, to a design, to students from California to the NY Islands using it. Check out this user video sent in by Eric Sailers. Cool start to combining Proloquo2Go with playing barrier type communication practice games.

Sennott Interview from AT Oral History Project
“Great app – so easy and versatile.” by Mom to Michael T April 25, 2009
“This is an amazing app! I bought an iTouch and Proloquo2go yesterday to try it out on my 7 year old son who has a mitochondrial disorder, autism, is non-verbal and has pretty significant fine motor control problems too. I was skeptical as to whether he could maneuver the iTouch but was thrilled to see that he is able to play many of the free games on the iTouch and is picking up quickly on the Proloquo2go. I am so excited to have something I can put in my purse and have with us all the time – its nice that I can put videos on the iTouch too.
We also got the iMainGo case and its great. VERY sturdy (my son is very rough on things – he has broken 2 Springboards and they are in titanium cases) but I am confident this case with protect the iTouch and the sound is very clear (speakers are built into the case).
We are using the ‘large’ button setting so there are 9 choices without having to scroll. The normal setting has 16 to a screen and it was a little too small for him as he isn’t that accurate. We have been using a Springboard and were in the queue to get a Dynavox but I think this will quickly become the preferred mode of communication due to its size and ease of use. Great job on this. You have changed our lives in just 1 day!”
