Abstract
Proloquo2Go is an alternative/augmentative communication device that uses pictures, written words, and text-to-speech to provide a means of communication for those without adequate verbal communication skills. Proloquo2Go can be used across all settings and is commonly used in educational settings with students who need assistance with personal communication. This system can be personalized to meet the individual's needs and icons can be organized by category and topic. Proloquo2Go is beneficial for building social skills, participating meaningfully in class discussions, and for leisure and employment-related skills. Users of the system can choose from five languages to meet individual needs.
