I’ve found it’s the best AAC for me (I’ve tested many on different platforms)
MrShadow1984
A long time ago, my old residential home used AAC with all of us to encourage us to speak in some form. I used to be prescribed AAC devices long before the iPad but these were heavy,mostly meant for power chairs or just clunky. The ipad and Proloquo2go changed everything for me. Not only is it clear to use but I find it clear to edit and add to or delete to. My own SLT who is part of the CLDT who supports me got me hooked up with my own iPad and Proloquo2go. She also let me do the editing when she saw me messing with it as it’d make her job less busy.I’ve been using it for years, across several iPads now, you can set it up for people who need as little visual stimulus as possible or a ton of words! I can’t believe I’ve never done a review of it. There are times when I’ve been in busy environments such as night clubs with my support staffs,it’s actually made me more able to communicate than those who speak through the mouth as the noise would block them from speaking. I’ve also tried multiple AAC and none of them come close in terms of design,layout and pictorials. Thankyou so much for giving me and others a much better quality of life.

I can’t say enough positive things about this app. To be honest this has changed my little boys life. Using actual voices is a stroke of genius. Proloquo has helped to improve my sons receptive language and he is beginning to attempt words when he presses on them. The introduction of the ability to record sounds is also fantastic. The support via your website and Facebook group has also been invaluable!

After reading the reviews I purchased this App for my daughter who has Autism and non verbal I was really excited about this App and opening many doors for my daughter to be included in the world to be heard and being part of life’s communication after desperately trying to layout the app I failed continuously eventually I emailed the company of this app asking for help I did receive a acknowledgment of my email and was told someone will respond within 5 working days that was 3 MONTHS AGO . So after 5 months of spending a vast amount of money believing this app is the golden key for my daughter it’s not for us personally feel really let down very disheartening especially it’s my daughter losing out on such a amazing app that we can’t get to use to it’s full potential that it’s meant to give

I bought this app when my daughter 5 in desperate need of learning to communicate with her now she is is 10 it helps her and me. It works, it blew my mind to see her communicate with others using it. I remember actually crying when she used the app for something as simple as asking for a drink. Totally made such a difference in my daughters life and mine. Bringing us closer. So thank you
