The following videos provide a brief introduction to setting up the Proloquo2Go app for trial with a new student, or consumer.  The purpose of these videos is to help you follow the recommendations given to you by the person or team evaluating the consumer for AAC. This recommendation depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the consumer’s vision, fine and gross motor skills, and method of access.
