hey folks - greetings from Arkansas! I want to chime in and just say that the oases is designed to be used IN CONJUNCTION WITH -- not instead of -- other measures, such as the objective measures of surface characteristics that Patrick responded to. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear. I use the OASES (and the child version, the ACES) as additions to standard measures of frequency and type of disfluencies (as I described in yaruss, 1997, 1998 -- that's been a long-standing area of interest for me as well)... And then, we combine all of the information we get to help us understand the true scope of the stuttering disorder for each individual we are working with... Fun stuff, eh? S
