About
Turtle Pacing Board is a speech therapy app for children with unclear articulation caused by fast speech rates, stuttering, or cluttering. Unlike paper-based pacing boards, it uses animated visual cues—turtles that fill with color and grow in size—to help children slow their speech and say one word or syllable per tap. The app includes six categories of conversation questions, adjustable turtle-fill speed via a settings slider, optional audio feedback, and text-to-speech voices. Speech-language pathologists, teachers, and parents can use it with or without conversation prompts, and it supports practicing multisyllabic words broken into syllables.
