Proloquo aims to provide an AAC user with as much access to language as possible and is best suited to individuals who have no access issues such as vision impairment or difficulties with manual dexterity. The fixed grid on Proloquo is designed to provide the user with consistent access to a large vocabulary. Proloquo2Go allows the user to mask access to vocabulary through the Progressive Language feature.

RationaleĪccording to the makers of the apps, AssistiveWare, there are clear rationales to the decision around making Proloquo less customisable than Proloquo2Go. The Proloquo home page has 48 words laid out in sentence order and placed in a fixed location to support motor planning.
While Proloquo2Go has lots of grid size options, Proloquo has one grid size. The main difference between the apps is the level of customisation available. Importantly, the differences are not just at the level of appearance. However, Proloquo has words arranged in columns using background colours, which is visually clearer than Proloquo2Go’s columns of white buttons with coloured borders. Both apps use colour coding to assist in locating word type, such as orange for pronouns, pink for verbs and green for prepositions.
