I rushed off to bed last night with a migraine, so didn’t really finish having a good look at Proloquo2Go. I’ve had a further play around today and found it is very easy to add new buttons using photos on the iTouch, and easy to shift buttons around so they’re stored in the categories you want. You can also resize the buttons to make them larger if you wish. This quick start guide gives a good indication of the sorts of things you can do with this app.
The only difficulty my son has had is learning to touch and let go. If you touch and hold the iTouch it doesn’t register. I would expect this to come fairly easily and may have arisen because my son is familiar with the boardmaker activity pad which requires the user to touch and hold the buttons for a bit longer.
I’ve also just been told about another app for the iPhone/iTouch called iPrompts which allows you to make visual timetables and has a countdown timer. Two of my favourite things for £29.99!
