Turtle Pacing Board 2.5

Turtle Pacing Board is a professional speech therapy application tailored to assist children with unclear articulation caused by rapid speech. It is equally beneficial in addressing stuttering and cluttering issues.

What sets Turtle Pacing Board apart from conventional paper-based pacing boards is its unique approach to aiding children in slowing down their speech pace. By offering engaging visual cues, this app supports children in effectively enhancing their articulation and speech clarity.

Within Turtle Pacing Board, children select a conversation topic and respond to conversation prompts by utilizing the pacing board. They are required to press and hold on a turtle while articulating one syllable or word per turtle. Should they progress before the turtle fills with color and grows in size, a "Too Quick" alert appears on screen.

Adjustable settings in the app allow for customization of the speed at which each turtle fills with color, catering to children with varying speech rates and intelligibility levels.

Intended users of Turtle Pacing Board include parents, teachers, speech-language pathologists, and children grappling with articulation challenges due to rapid speech delivery, difficulties enunciating longer words, stuttering, or cluttered speech.

Helpful recommendations for utilizing Turtle Pacing Board include modeling its use during conversations to guide children on slowing down their speech. Natural conversational flow is encouraged over rapid progression through prompts.

The app features an engaging turtle pacing board set against an animated sea background, along with six categories of conversation questions for diverse speech pacing exercises. Users have the flexibility to choose between spoken conversation questions, text-only display, or a combination of both. Optional audio feedback complements visual cues upon completion of each turtle's filling process.
