Step 1 - Try out an iPod touch or iPhone
If you can use an iPod touch or iPhone you can use Proloquo2Go. So, if you do not own one yet, it would be advisable to try one out before purchasing. Go to an Apple Store or Apple Reseller near you to try out the iPod touch or iPhone and make sure it works well for you. Alternatively, ask a friend or family member who owns one whether you can try the device.
Proloquo2Go can be used through the multi-touch display of the iPod touch and iPhone by the Proloquo2Go user, or if you want to use partner assisted scanning, by the partner.
If touching with your fingers is hard for you a Pogo stylus might help.
If you are not sure Proloquo2Go is the right AAC solution for you or your child it is a good idea to contact one of the resource centers for a loaner unit or evaluation. We think Proloquo2Go is great, but that does not mean it is the right solution for everyone, therefore a proper evaluation by an AAC specialist is often a good idea.
Step 2 - Get an iPod touch or iPhone
Proloquo2Go runs on the iPod Touch 1st , 2nd or 3rd Generation and the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3Gs. Proloquo2Go takes up about 250 MB of space, leaving plenty of room for music, movies, and other apps on your device. If you download the additional voices these may take up another 100-400 MB depending on the number of voices you download and their size. You can purchase an iPod touch or an iPhone at Apple Stores, Best Buy Stores, and Walmart or their online stores. They are also available through many Apple resellers worldwide.
Some of our partners have created bundles specifically for Proloquo2Go. Read more on those below.
Step 3 - Get Speakers and Accessories
External speakers help the terrific high quality Acapela voices be heard loud and clear. While the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G have built in speakers, in many situations, you will want the added sound power provided by external speakers.
Some options are the iMaingo 2 speaker case. In addition to providing a speaker it protects your device.It even has a plastic screen protection. For some people this is just what they need, others cut out the pastic screen because it makes touches on the screen more responsive. Another good option is the X-mini to which you can attach a lanyard.
Additional speakers are listed here.
For some people a Pogo stylus might be a useful accessory too.

Step 4 - Download Proloquo2Go
Launch iTunes, log onto the App Store and purchase and download Proloquo2Go on iTunes. If you do not already have an iTunes account, you must create a user account with the iTunes Store. iTunes gift cards are a great way to give Proloquo2Go to someone you care about (but note that not all iTunes stores allow use of Gift cards for App purchases).
The price of Proloquo2Go is US$189.99 / Euro 139.99 / GBP 109.99 / AUD 239.99 (exact price may vary from country to country).
