Proloquo's large vocabulary is extremely efficient, with an average of just 1.6 taps per word to say common phrases.

The consistent location of words on the fixed grid makes motor learning easy and promotes automaticity.
Proloquo's Home Screen makes it quick and easy to express all communication functions, from requesting and refusing to commenting and questioning.
Grammatical inflections are always available as advanced users apply the conventions of English. But grammar support is unobtrusive, allowing young users to focus on the symbol buttons.
