Proloquo 2 go display ipad mini how to#
I feel really lucky I met people who could tell me the tricks of how to make it more affordable, or I wouldn’t have been able to get a device for myself. And then on my friends’ advice I waited until one of the seasonal app sales to purchase the Proloquo software. I thought I would only use the latter, which is QWERTY style typing based, but it turns out having a symbols based app was really helpful for me too! So after a month or two of trialling and keeping an eye on iPad prices, I purchased a device when it was on a good sale. …I researched a few different kinds of apps and decided to borrow an iPad Mini with Proloquo2Go and Proloquo4Text. I am so grateful!Įndever*: My friend who uses AAC showed me her device and told me to look for a lending library of equipment for people with disabilities in my area to see if they had something I could borrow to try out and see if it helped me. It’s only recently that I met other autistic adults, and found out that AAC was an option. I had been in speech therapy for many years as a kid, but I don’t remember anyone offering AAC, instead just pushing speech, speech, speech. I wasn’t diagnosed as autistic yet, so even though I knew intuitively that speech was hard for me I didn’t understand why. But I didn’t realize these were sorts of AAC or why I was using them. Endever*: Welcome to AAC Town! Just because we don’t speak doesn’t mean we have nothing to say.Įndever*: Hi listeners, welcome back to AAC Town podcast! Today Sam is going to be interviewing me about my experiences as an AAC user.Įndever*: Not until my thirties! Well, I used some unofficial AAC before that – I frequently wrote notes to my friends instead of speaking to them, I would send texts to people in the same room, and I studied sign language instead of a spoken language.
