Proloquo2Go, aside from being a powerful communication solution, is simply cool for teenagers. For this group in particular, Proloquo2Go, whether it is on an iPhone or an iPod touch, is a game changer. So while, “cool” is truly in the eye of the beholder, the power of having your AAC system on something as mainstream, popular, and coveted as the iPhone and iPod touch is at least a way to create a shared consciousness and at most may be just the incentive for individuals reluctant to using a system seen as different. So whether answering academic questions in class with style or joking with friends while hanging out, Proloquo2Go can help empower teens to meet their unique daily communication needs.
Nichole and her mother
"I like having something handy and cool. I love my VMax, but I can’t use it in crowded places or when at ball games cause I can’t use my Tracker and see at the same time. Proloquo2Go lets me use an iPhone which everyone thinks is cool and it is *so* easy to understand. Even though I need help (someone to hold it and scan with me), people come in close and I like how personal it is. People aren’t afraid of it and get so excited that an iPhone is my voice!"
Nichole, 15 year old user of AAC, severe orthopedic and speech disabilities, but personality plus
"I love Proloquo2Go and the power and simplicity it gives my daughter! What a cool way to share and fit in; to connect with people on a personal basis. The more we get to play with it, the more we see possibilities and opportunities to give Nichole a chance to share her wit and charm with others."
Valerie, mom to Nichole
