[Athen] aug com advice

[E.A. Draffan]

If it is for an iPhone and only sentences that he wishes to use in a speedy
manner then I have shown people how to use
<https://www.claro-apps.com/clarocom/> ClaroCom and there is a free version
that can be trialled.  It offers the user a chance to build up a bank of
favourite words, phrases and sentences.  Provides word and phrase prediction
etc. and has American voices.  

 

There is also  <http://www.assistiveware.com/product/proloquo4text>
Proloquo4Text (which is a text version of Proloquo2Go) which has a different
interface is rather more expensive but offers multitasking and switching
between social media etc. 

 

Best wishes 

E.A.

Hello,

 

Thank you for your reply. I didn't even think to ask if he wants word or
picture based, but I'm guessing word based. If you could connect the
instructor and I, that would be great. I can get her feedback on the app and
see if I can apply it to his specific situation.

Hi Robert,

 

I would ask if the user is looking for a picture or word based system.  We
have a professor here at Mason that uses her iPad as an AugComm device to
supplement her speech in meetings.  She likes word-based systems.  I believe
she uses Verbally,
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/verbally/id418671377?mt=8#
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/verbally/id418671377?mt=8>   but I am
checking with her.  This system allows her to save commonly used phrases,
questions,  in a format she prefers.  However, it looks like it is only for
the iPad. I am sure she will have other options to share. Perhaps I can
connect the two of you?

 

I hope this helps.  ~Kristine

Hi Robert,
I remember Proloquo2Go
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/proloquo2go-symbol-based-aac/id308368164?mt
=8> . Unfortunately I don't have any experience actually using it.

Hello all,

 

It has been at least 15 years since I've had any dealings with any kind of
augmentative communication systems. I have a student with some speech delay
issues and is looking for an aug com system to supplement his speech. He
uses Mac and IOS devices. I'd like to find something he could use on his
iPhone if possible. Does anybody have any recommendations? Are there any
questions I should be asking him that I haven't thought of?

 

Thanks for any feedback.
