Free PC Program for Language Analysis

There is a free software resource that you may find valuable if you assess and treat children with language impairments. Computerized Profiling, or CP for short, is a set of PC programs that linguistic analysis of language samples in several domains: phonolgy (single conversational pragmatics). Let us emphasize: CP is not for sale, it is a FREE program.

If you indicate an interest in the program by checking the appropriate box on the website, you will receive information on FREE updates as they are developed. You will NOT receive advertising for any commercial product as a result of your examination or use of CP.

CP can be downloaded free of charge from the web site at http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/cosi/cp.htm. The aim of the authors (steven H. Long of Case Western Reserve University, Marc Fey of University of Kansas Medical Center, and Ron Channell of Brigham Young University) is to promote the use of computers and sophisticated methods of linguistic analysis by speech-language pathologists. By distributing CP for free, they hope to give everyone access to these tools.

Further information about CP can be found at the web site at http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/cosi/cp.htm, along with downloading instructions, and other resources relevant to language sample analysis.
