With
all the advances in technology, it is not surprising that no one has been left
behind.
Those
with disabilities now have access to many new assistive technologies. One of
those is an app for phones known as Proloquo2 go.
Cathy
Kingeter, vice president of marketing and communications, said the app helps
provide a voice for people who are unable to speak. Proloquo2go targets
children with autism, people with cerebral palsy, apraxia, ALS, stroke victims
or anyone else who are unable to speak.
"Proloquo2go
was introduced in 2009, and it has been very, very successful,” Kingeter said. A
large population, like I said over 75,000 users, it's won awards as a
communication app. It's brought benefit to people around the world."
The
app is much less expensive than the traditional devices. Allison Smith said it
has changed the life of her twin boys.
