Pacing is a technique employed by professionals and parents to help students/children slow down their speech, and by so doing, increase their fluency and intelligibility. Traditionally, a child would tap on a pacing ‘board’ (piece of wood divided into segments); once, for each word or syllable he/she verbalized. With this Speech Pacer Plus App, the physical wooden board is replaced by buttons on the screen.Instructions:1. Click on the icon for the Speech Pacer Plus2. A Set-up page will appear3. The professional/parent can set the buttons, animation, and sound, as desired using the on/off buttons4. The number of buttons the child needs to tap can be chosen at the bottom of the page (5 – 10 large buttons for either iPad or iPhone/Pod; 8 or 10 small buttons for only the iPad)5. Once the number of buttons has been chosen, the Pacing screen appears6. The child must tap each button while verbalizing his/her phrase or sentence (one for each word or syllable)7.
