Hi Dr. Sawyer, I have read (I think in Ambrose and Yairi, 1999) that the rate of the child's repetitions can help differentiate children who stutter from normally fluent children. Do you think that including such a measure in the disfluency analysis is worthwhile especially in borderline cases? Also are there any normative data to that respect?
