So we went ahead and purchased proloquo2go for my son’s iPad, it wasn’t cheap.  We were at first hesitant about purchasing the app because we didn’t know what to expect, would it be better than cheaper apps and would it work?  Well a week or so ago I got a call form my Mom with news that you could now lock the iPad.  I looked into it and it is right in the settings of the iPad, no extra app required.  You can even circle and block out buttons you don’t want your child to access.  This is great because we can set the volume and lock Cayden’s iPad to the proloquo2go program and he can only use it for that.

Before he would just skip around and use it mainly for games, but now that we can lock it he has started to use it more to communicate.  We are also trying to learn the program better and add more vocabulary words to the program.  It is fairly easy to add words and folders, I just need to find a way to add pre-loaded folders instead of having to add words one by one.  Other than that the program is great to use and very easy to adapt to Cayden.  Hopefully we can get past the repeated words like pancake 10 times in a row.  Right now it is a work in progress, with progress coming almost everyday which is great.  I’ll update you when I figure new stuff out about the app, or improvements made to the iPad.
