Helps promote fluent speech in child who stutters

Whenever my son is having a particularly rough day with his stuttering, if he sits down and plays this app for 5-10 min it does seem to help promote fluency during use and after he’s done playing. They could come up with some more questions and categories though. I would say good for ages 4-10, maybe even older than 10.

Great Visual for Teaching Pacing

This is a great visual tool for little learners learning to slow down their speech! I use this all the time as a school-based SLP working with pre-k to 3 to teach the concept of slow speech.

Not useful

My students were dissapointed none of the turtles kept a big size. They did not find it rewarding. I wish app store offered a refund for this app.

Not enough variation

I with this had more features with strategies.
