Using an iPod Touch with Proloquo2go has proven to be fairly easy and straight-forward. Once the process for creating the categories, folders, and final icons is known and practiced, one could fairly quickly develop a communication selection set. There are certainly a lot of symbols to choose from, but for some students, it seems it would be better to have pictures that more accurately represent the given student's environment or social contexts. I realize that this can be achieved with an iPod account on your computer, however the need for IT to be on board has proven to cause complications to this process (at my school, anyway). I can certainly see that the iPod touch with Proloquo2go is successful and that once the student sees the value in using the device, the motivation to communicate will surely be apparent.
In doing a search online, I found a Proloquo2go Facebook page! With updates and a forum for users to ask questions about the uses of Proloquo2go. http://www.facebook.com/proloquo2go. They also mention a general forum for questions on the AssistiveWare Assistive Technology Community Forum.
This video shows a scenario where a boy is able to use Proloquo2go effectively with a community member.
