Cаse study оptiоn 1 Wаtch the fоllowing video, then do а case study writeup where you answer the following questions: 1. Describe this person's speech in precise clinical terms, using sufficient detail that another clinician could recognize their speech from another recording. Pay particular attention to their PROSODY, ARTICULATION, and PHONATION during speech and speech-like (e.g., sustained phonation, DDKs) tasks, as well as the timecourse of their symptoms. Make reference to specific words/phrases or tasks in your description. (10 points) 2. Provide your diagnostic hypothesis (choose from control circuit dysarthrias only). Be specific--in particular, remember that we discussed how there are many kinds of hyperkinetic dysarthrias. (5 points) 3. Justify your hypothesis above. You can reference both symptoms you described above and any other symptoms (or lack of symptoms!) you observed in the video. Make sure to follow our class rules for case studies! Consider the whole person; explain all symptoms (even the ones you don't specifically describe); keep it simple. (10 points) 4. Based on your speech diagnosis and any other information you can gather from the video, do you think this patient is a good candidate for behavioral speech therapy? Why or why not? If you would need more information before making a recommendation, discuss what additional information you might want and why.

Do you detect anything in his speech that might lead you to additionally diagnose one of the motor speech disorders of the cortex or LMN system? Briefly defend your answer, making reference to specific symptoms (or lack of symptoms).
