Re: Looking for help with proloquo2go

[Guest guest]

We don't need the proloquo2go or I would have for sure gotten this already. But

want to try to help you. Prior to offering to pay someone to tutor you how to

use I'd explore other options.

It as it appears to me that most would be happy to help you for free either

because

A. they too care for a child with special needs and want to reach out to you

just as families and professionals here do all the time.

B. they have a employee, employer, owner financial interest in prologue2go or

iTouch and are paid to help you.

I found this page http://www.proloquo2go.com/Support which appears to me to be a

good place to start to find the As and Bs I speak of above:

HI

Thanks. I did try that. I sent them an email, took couple days for response and

reply did not help. I have short time to return the itouch if this is not going

to work. I probably need more than few min of help and i know how tight we all

are on time and money which is why i offered.

thank you. sara

I have to say that it is disappointing that you did not get a quick or

helpful reply. I have found that with any AAC system, a key to success

is the company providing timely and helpful responses. It may be that

we will find that Proloquo with iPod is a cheaper alternative to other

AAC devices, but the tech support may also be limited (no sales reps to

come demonstrate the app or provide ongoing support, no phone in support

hot line, etc). That said, I have not had the opportunity to get my

hands on Proloquo due to the price of the app. My daughter doesnt' need

the program, I don't have any clients that are using it and I can't

justify spending $200.00 just because I would like to play with it. I

wish they would offera free trial for 30 days, so that more SLPs would

have the opportunity to take it for a test drive. While I am intrigued

with all the videos I have seen, I can't recommend something that I

haven't had the chance to use.

Have you asked your SLP if she can help you? If one of my clients

needed help, I would jump at the chance to utilize the program. When

using an AAC system, it is important to have a SLP involved to help with

appropraite vocabulary selection, etc. Another possiblity may be to

look for an AAC clinic at a local University, or your closest Children's

Hospital (most children's hospitals have AAC experts on staff).

I wish I could be of more help.

Best wishes,
