number “2” and “Go” as in on the go. Proloquo2Go. Proloquo is Latin for “speak out
loud”.
2.1. Getting Started
The Startup Wizard
When you first launch Proloquo2Go, a startup wizard will
appear that allows you to create a user and select a
vocabulary for the user. Proloquo2Go allows you to choose
between a Basic Communication vocabulary for beginning
communicators, a Core Word vocabulary for more advanced
communicators, or. a blank vocabulary.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Proloquo2Go,
you can select your current 1.x vocabulary. or you can start
with Core Word, Basic Communication, or Blank. Whether
you choose one of the new vocabularies or your 1.x
vocabulary, your 1.x vocabulary will be saved inside of
Proloquo2Go. You can back up your 1.x vocabulary to your
computer, and you can also use it to create a 2.0 user at a
later time. See chapter 8 for details.
The Vocabularies
Core Word is for users who can put words together into
sentences. It consists of a main page with the most
frequently used words in English conversation, and folders
of less frequently used words, organized in categories. Core
Word can be configured from 9 to 64 buttons per page, and
is optimized for quick sentence creation and language
development.
Basic Communication is for users who are at the early
requesting stage of language development, and usually
have not started to combine words to form longer
messages. Basic Communication can be configured from 9
to 36 buttons per page, and provides support for developing
requesting, commenting, early social interactions, and basic
academics.
Note that if you later want to use another vocabulary you
can always go to Options and create a new user. More
details on creating a user can be found in section 3.1
(Options View - User Options). More information on the
vocabularies and deciding which one to use can be found in
chapter 6.
