Guest guest Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 My son has been using an iPad with the ProLoQuo to Go app. The iPad was about $500 and the app was $180. This particular app is really great. You can add pictures and all sorts of things. My son lost his language at a little over 3 1/2 years old, and his frustration had gone through the roof in the effort to communicate. He is now 6, and does a really good job with using his "talker". He will also, eventually, be able to use it to type. We looked at devices that were specifically for communication. They cost thousands of dollars and we had to meet our (very high) deductible in order for any of it to be covered. Not to mention, a kid with a speech device stands out, but a kid with an iPad looks really cool ! We rallied friends and family, everyone pitched in, and we were able to swing it. It has been worth every penny. Just my 2 cents...... Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
