 I'm in the assistive wear booth and I'm about to talk to you, wait for it. Barbara von Westende from the Netherlands and we're gonna say hi to Helma and Jopal, we're here. How you doing today, Barbara? I'm fine, how are you? Did I pull off your name pronunciation, okay? You did it very good. All right, so Barbara has a 12.9 inch iPad Pro. It looks like in her hand here and she's got a product called Proloco de Go. Is that right? Yeah, that's true. And Proloco de Go is an AAC app? AAC. AAC for augmentative and alternative communication. So it's an app you can use if you can't communicate like you and I do by using speech. It's a symbol-based AAC app. And for people who know AAC, the word symbol-based will be clear, I think. Okay, but none of my listeners or maybe only a few will. So symbol-based means you use pictures to communicate. Okay. The app. Tap on images on the screen to say what you wanna say. Yeah, true. So if I tap the word like, maybe we can hear it. Like. It will say like or? Want, need, go, stop, think. So she's tapping on icons that show a little person taking a box. Somebody holding their hands out to a box was for want, stop was a stop sign. Yeah, true. So you tap pictures to communicate. And it's important if we start communication like you and I do maybe you can communicate an old communication function there are. So it's not only about requesting, it's also about commenting or take a discussion. And to do that, you have to use a lot of words. And the most important words are core words. And those are the words that are on the first page that are not nouns. So verbs are core words and verbs will tell you or the other that I want something or like something or I need something or I want to say something or. So those are the most important words. Okay. Is there a summer pink and summer green and summer black? What are the green ones? There are different kind of words and now you have me because I don't know. I think it's word for word. You know what I think they are. I think a lot of them are prepositions. So it's to, with, in, for. Yeah, true, true. It's a little difficult for me to remember the English. Nouns, verbs, prepositions. Yeah, yeah. And down below there are different folders. So if I go into the food folder, did you see it? I will do it again. If I go into the food folder, you will see that a lot of core words will stay in the same place. So people can remember by motorcal learning where the pictures are. Okay, I'm gonna do one here. Wait, no, you gotta keep me in food. Keep me in food. Where is it? No, no, there it is. I want ketchup. Yeah, no question. I want ketchup. Text button? The text button? I want ketchup. And I'd say the whole sentence. Oh, I see that. I didn't understand that. I want ketchup. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, yeah. So what if you've got a word that you need to use that what I wanna say is MacBook Pro? How would I say that if I needed, had this device? Cause I bet, whoops, I bet that isn't in here. No, let's wait and see. We have a search function, always handy. And let's see if there's a MacBook. Oh, there was a Macintosh computer. The Macintosh computer was there. Okay, so it shows you the path you have to take to go to that word. So a Macintosh computer says it's in things and go to computers and there it is. Macintosh computer. I love it and the icon is the original Mac. That's fantastic. But let's say I wanted, now I wanted to say MacBook Pro. How would I, could I make my own icon? Yes, you can make your own icon. Let's make another one in this folder. So we're in the folder things. Let's go over here and say I wanna make a new button. So you press the plus, that's for a new button. Add a picture, I will choose a symbol. Let's say she's typing in the word computer and she's, oh, sorry. Oh, I saw one. Oh, she bumped a button. Oh, that's fine. We can leave that. We saw that there was computer as an option. You can choose between different pictures. Right, right. So now can I record my own voice? Yes, you can record your own voice and you will do. So I will press the button and you will say it. Okay. MacBook Pro. Let's listen to it. Oh, there we go. Not too bad. So you will see there's an audio recording over there. I will give it a label because we have to know what's the Mac. How about MacBook? That's probably good enough. Okay, and then I will say it's done. And then it's there. MacBook Pro. Oh, very good. And then I will say I want. Want. MacBook Pro. I want. MacBook Pro. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Everybody does, that is fantastic. So I know there's problems, it's kind of quiet in here but this is pretty loud. Do you have control over the volume on this? Yes, we have control over the volume so I can choose for my own if I want a soft, loud, or shout function. So we made the sentence, I want MacBook Pro and let's say, okay, we're gonna shout it and I hope you can hear it. I want. MacBook Pro. It's louder if you're more quiet if I am in. But there's a big difference between loud and shout. And I would like to use shout. Oh, I bet the kids love it. I love it. And now if I made MacBook Pro and I'm the teacher, is there a way for me to share that with other people, that icon? Yeah, you can share that with other people. Oh. MacBook Pro. So let me see, it wasn't things. It was in computers. There it is. So if I now select that button, it gets a blue thing and I can share it and I can say, okay, I can share it by iTunes but I also can share it by iDrop and that's the most easy one. Okay, just throw it up on iDrop. So if you're in a classroom even without Wi-Fi? See if I can open my... Or she's one-handed, she's gonna try to do it. Oh, does this run on the iPhone too? This one on the iPhone too. Oh, okay, that's fantastic because not everybody else at 12.net. Here, let me hold this. Can you trust me with your, oh wow. So let me say I want to export it through iDrop. And she's gonna tap export and she's got her iPhone waiting. Let me see if I'm there. Wait, that said assistive wear. Yeah, this is my iPhone, it's my personal iPhone, so I will say... And it says, okay, I want to accept it. Yes, but it was in Dutch. Yeah. I'm from the Netherlands, sorry. No, we like that. And now it's over here, so I go to things on my iPhone. Are you okay with iPad? Yes. Computers, and let me see where it is. Where did he put it? Oh, it's got a funny icon, remember. Yeah, let's search for it. Oh, that's okay. Yeah, no, well, he airdropped it to my iPhone. Sure, yeah. So those icons are really small on the phone. They're too small for a phone. Yeah, yeah. You should choose another grid size. Okay, yeah, yeah. Maybe a regular iPad would work as well. Yeah, it does, it works on an iPhone, it works on an iPad, it works on iPods, it works on an iPad Pro. Actually, for the children, they can still see that small, right? Yeah. But if you become older and that's true. That's true. Yeah, well, this has been fantastic.
