Scuttle Pad is a new social network designed for kids ages six through ten. Scuttle Pad provides a safe, supervised, place in which children can communicate with each other. Scuttle Pad requires parents to register their children. Once registered Scuttle Pad continues to protect children by reviewing all images that are uploaded.

Scuttle Pad is focused only on communication practice by students. Therefore, it doesn’t offer games or other distractions. To help students structure sentences, Scuttle Pad offers a word bank from which students can select words to use in their communications.
