Video #2: "The Conversation: iPad Gives Voice to the Autistic"

In the video below, from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vomkNSluWW4, Sam Senott, co-creator of ProLoQuo2Go, discusses his app that can be used to help people with autism and people who are nonverbal, communicate with others and interact with the world around them. ProLoQuo2Go is an amazing resource that should be strongly considered for those who are nonverbal or have difficulty communicating. This app allows people to click things like "Hello, how are you?" and the app turns the text into speech, so the user can communicate with others. They can also click things like "I want" and then click "A glass of apple juice." The app will then turn the user's clicks into an organized sentence that can be spoken to the desired recipient. If I think from the perspective of a child with autism, I see this app, and others like it, as an invaluable tool. Children with autism who would otherwise have no way to communicate their wants and needs, can have a way to do so.
