Modern Pacing Board with Fun Visual Cues
Turtle Pacing Board is a modern pacing board for speech. It is designed to help children with unclear articulation and a fast speaking rate to pace their speech and improve their intelligibility in conversation. It consists of a turtle pacing board made of 6 turtles and over 100 optional conversation questions.
Unlike traditional pacing boards, Turtle Pacing Board offers the child additional visual cues and feedback to help them to slow their rate of speech.
