Proloquo2Go Manual 2.3_Nov_23 - AssistiveWare

Proloquo2Go’s Core Word vocabulary was created using published research on the
frequency of use of common words by children in preschool and early elementary school.
Using this data to sort words into primary, secondary, and storage levels works reasonably
well for the very most commonly used words. Making the distinction between the fringe
words that are on the primary versus the secondary levels is more difficult to do in a way that
works equally well for all users. For example, a particular user might need to use the verb
“fold” more frequently to instruct someone to fold clothing properly - that user would want
“fold” on the fringe verb page rather than the more verbs page. The Core Word vocabulary is
designed to make it easy to “promote” a fringe word from the secondary level to the primary
level, or “demote” it from the primary level to the secondary level. You will learn how to do
this in the section on customizing your chosen vocabulary.
The top level, or “home” pages of the 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 column core word vocabulary
configurations are shown below. All of these configurations may be used on an iPad. On the
iPhone and iPod Touch, only the 3, 4, 5, and 6 column configurations should be used; on
these smaller devices, the 6 column configuration is very small and will require excellent
eyesight and fine motor skills.
To switch between configurations, go to Options > Appearance, and set the number of
columns to 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. Core Word will not display properly with fewer than 3 columns
or more than 8, and the number of rows must equal the number of columns.
6.2. Using the Setup Wizard to Select a Vocabulary
When you start Proloquo2Go for the first time, the Startup Wizard appears to help you

Tap the User Name row and type a name to a user, and then choose a vocabulary you want.
