My name is Erin and I am currently a first year graduate student at West Virginia University. I am actually about to give a demonstration to my classmates tomorrow afternoon on testing and frequency analysis for a preschool diagnostic. Dr. Kenneth St. Louis has asked me to show the class how to count syllables with an inexpensive calculator and stuttered syllables with a clicker. I have been practicing this technique but have found it difficult to master. I am very interested in the disfluency analysis and would like to try and code and tally each type of disfluency the child produces as the article suggests. Do you have any advice or recommendations for students like myself trying to become proficient at counting syllables and also learning to code and keep track of each type of disfluency? I would love to be able to share this with my classmates. Thanks!
