Assistive Writing with Proloquo2Go and Pictello

In my search for a symbol supported writing option, I came across a wonderful written tutorial on how to pair Proloquo2Go with Pictello for writing purposes.  If you have a student at the beginning stages of written composition, you might consider having the student compose sentences using Proloquo2Go and copying them over to Pictello, in Wizard Mode.  SET-BC has a step-by-step set of instructions to create a digital book using Proloquo2Go and then transferring it over to Pictello. You can find the instructions here.

Using Dropbox to Share Backups of Proloquo2Go

I have created a document that will provide some information about how to send backups of Proloquo2Go from one device to another.  All that is needed is a free Dropbox account and a saved backup of Proloquo2Go.  Here is a link to an info sheet, or if you are a visual learner, here is a link to a great video by AssistiveWare, the developers of Proloquo2go.

Proloquo2go

If you've ever worked with an individual using the Proloquo2go app on an iOS device, you know that there are so many customization options.  It can be overwhelming to get the device customized to the users' speaking preferences. Once it is just right, however, the student you are working with may be all the more motivated to communicate with partners.  AssistiveWare, the developer of some great AT products has a set of webinars that walk the user through the fine details of the app.  This is a great tool for someone who is new to the use of Proloqou2go and someone who is quite familiar with the software. It may assist you in making the decision to purchase the pricey $189.99 app.  Have a look at http://www.assistiveware.com/videos to view the selection of concise and effective demos.
