![]() ![]() There is a support tab that allows the user to send a message directly to AssistiveWare and a usage tab that shows a weekly graph of how often the Proloquo app was used. Under each of these topics, the user can go through a series of training sessions. It includes topics such as “Starting Proloquo With Your Child” and “Learn About AAC”. The Proloquo App comes with a separate companion app called Proloquo Coach. If you are finding yourself short on time (like most of us), I’ll give you a quick overview and comparison of Proloquo and Proloquo2Go. You can go to the AssistiveWare website and find several blog posts that explain Proloquo and how it supports AAC users. What could this app offer that was so significantly different from Proloquo2Go? What were the unique features? And finally, why were the names so similar? They advertised it as being ‘the next generation of AAC’. Several months ago, they began to advertise their newest apps called Proloquo and Proloquo Coach. For many, this was life-changing because the cost of an iPad and AAC application was far less expensive than a comprehensive dedicated AAC device from a company.ĪssistiveWare went on to release several other apps that support many types of learners. Why? Because finally there was an AAC application that could be used on an iPad. Even though this was more than 12 years ago, the day I first learned of this app is very clear in my mind. The company started in 2000, and in the year 2009, they released their first AAC iOS application called Proloquo2Go. They are one of the leading AAC app developers. If you are an AAC lover, then you are likely familiar with the company called AssistiveWare. No endorsement by NWACS is implied regarding any device, manufacturer, resource, or strategy mentioned.
