Last Friday in the yard, one of my students ran up to me, grabbed my low-tech board and pointed to each symbol to make ‘I’ ‘want’ ‘more’ ‘play.’ I spoke each symbol as he pointed to it and then read it as a whole: “I want more play?! Okay then, go and play!” He then ran off to the seesaw. This gives every single one of my students access to their voice and wow have they shown me they have one! I’ve also recently brought my SSO a retractable key chain so she can wear a low-tech version throughout the day as well. Every child in my class has access to ProloQuo2go throughout the day and in every environment, whether that’s on their own personal device, the class iPad that I wear on a strap or the Core Word Board that myself and a few other members of staff wear in the yard. One is going into the instruments folder and repetitively tapping violin, whereas the other is beginning to babble in context. Even between these two there is a difference. The other two are also babbling, but using the symbols. The other is using the keyboard more to babble and he will type the names of Wiggles songs and characters. One is able to respond to verbal questions this way, which was particularly handy mid-way through this year when he transitioned to my class. Two mostly ignore the symbol-based aspect instead relying on the text to speech keyboard. Student Useįour of my eight students bring their own device with ProloQuo2go installed and they each use them in different ways. She can now independently do this, will scan the A3 board that I put on the table, point to the ‘finish’ symbol, say “(her name) is finished” and pack up. This has been most successful during eating time when I ask her if she wants more or finished. My goal for her when modelling is to encourage her to use her own voice more often. Which I love because it shows me so much understanding. The other is echolalic and has a few phrases that she uses throughout the day, the favourite at the moment being: almost home time. One is extremely capable of communicating her needs and feelings, so my aim for her is to see her peers using ProloQuo2go and see it as being just as valid as speech. I still model to both, but for completely different reasons as the way they use verbal language is different. I like…I also have two students who are verbal. If they are able to say a few words, I’ll model two words at a time or a simple 3-word sentence e.g. I was explaining to my student SSO that if my student is non-verbal, I will model one word to them on ProloQuo2go. I also know the communication needs in my class better, the kinds of ProloQuo2go users I have and the way I model to each reflects this. My understanding and fluency has grown a lot over the past few months, as have my students. I’ve written about ProloQuo2go in Term 1, but haven’t written a post on its use since then.
