What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
Proloquo is a symbol-supported AAC app for iPad and iPhone that lets a nonspeaking person tap pictures and symbols to generate spoken messages, with a companion app called Proloquo Coach that guides caregivers, parents, and educators through how to set up and support AAC use day-to-day. It's designed for people who are nonspeaking or have significant difficulty with spoken communication and can independently use a touchscreen — including children, teens, and adults. Proloquo is the communication app the user interacts with; Proloquo Coach is a separate app for the people around them, providing step-by-step implementation guidance so families don't have to figure out AAC support on their own. This is a subscription-based app ecosystem rather than a one-time purchase, and getting the most out of it — especially vocabulary setup and page layout customization — benefits significantly from guidance by a speech-language pathologist.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Download Proloquo from the App Store on an iPad or iPhone and open it to explore the default vocabulary layout. - With a guide
- Use Proloquo Coach to follow guided onboarding steps for setting up vocabulary, customizing access, and learning how to model AAC communication.
- Review AssistiveWare's Learn AAC resource library and video tutorials to configure the app for the user's language level and communication goals — expect 1-3 hours of initial setup.
- With professional help
- A speech-language pathologist (SLP) should assess the user's communication needs, recommend an appropriate vocabulary level and access method, and customize Proloquo's layout accordingly.
- Ongoing SLP involvement is recommended to expand vocabulary, adjust settings as communication skills develop, and train communication partners — typically 2-4 sessions to establish initial configuration. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
