Proloquo2go on our iPad allows for increased text size if there is a larger button at least. I can poke about a little bit more if need be…

I’m looking for an iPad app for a patient of mine with ALS. He can still type and utilize a digital selection method. He does have vision trouble and has to increase text size to large and extra large on his iPad. I spoke to Gus Tech and the rep said that ProloQuo2go and EZSpeech do not allow for increased text sizes.  Are you aware of another app for communication that allows the patient to increase font size?
