It allows clinicians to save client data and even has easy ‘red’ and ‘green’ buttons to use! https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/fluency-rater/id405725562?mt=8
Australian Stuttering Resource Centre website
http://sydney.edu.au/health-sciences/asrc/about_us/index.shtml
This website provides lots of useful information on stuttering for all ages (including preschool, school age, adolescent and adults). It is undergoing an update at the moment but watch this space for exciting new information and resources!
Talking Matters ‘Stuttering in Preschoolers’ information sheet. The Talking Matters team have put together an information sheet on preschool stuttering which includes an overview of the treatment program for preschool children to help explain therapy to parents, carers and teachers.
Barrier Games are also another great resource for fluency therapy particularly for school aged children. Using various pictures and themes this can create a fun and interactive smooth talking time for everyone! You can download some printable barrier games from here:
Looking forward to seeing what others are using!
