We started today by diving right into our Proloquo assignments. This time I found it much easier to move around within the program and I felt more comfortable using the application. I really hope I remember everything I learned when school comes this September. It really was much easier to input everything once we mapped out a plan. I didn't share this same opinion yesterday but I stand corrected.
During our presentations I received some constructive criticism. It was pointed out that we keep thinking that this is used a voice for the student. I think we somehow drifted from this idea along the way and used the application as a schedule at times. the feedback was great and I will keep it in mind in the future.
I found a newscast that is about a 10 year old girl with autism that is using the IPod and proloqu2go at school and home. It's a great story to show the impact assistive technology has on people. The link below is a video of the news story. Just copy and paste the link.
