Aphasia, apraxia and dysarthria evaluation

Aphasia, apraxia and dysarthria evaluation

There are four videos associated with this file. Please watch the videos and tell me what you get from each of them. The type of aphasia, the symptoms present and any other observations/reflections you may have after watching them.

This assignment should be about 1-2 paragraphs per video. I would also like to see the terminology used to describe the symptoms that are being presented in the video… (Example: Don’t just say ‘the person is talking really fast!’, refer to it as “exhibiting hyperfluency” which is a symptom of Wernicke’s aphasia).

Refer to each video by the order that it is in (Example: C7V1, C7V2). Thank you.

The first two videos are of aphasia clients.

In the third video, you’ll see a child that has apraxia. I want you to look at his speech patterns, errors, movements and answers and analyze the video for things and symptoms that you discover.

In the fourth video, you’ll see a man who has dysarthria. I want you to tell me which type of dysarthria that he has and all of the symptoms you can gather from his speech that would alert you to that. Also talk about any other things you notice from the video.

Bragg’s model memoir.

PROMPT:  For this assignment you will recall a person, place or event from your past and write a memoir.  You will need to use details and sensory impression to re-create the moment for your audience.  Your job is to reveal the meaning of the past so that readers understand the significance the memories hold for the present.  Through your writing your audience should be able to visualize the moment.  You should chose to revisit a memory that you have some distance from (not a recent break-up say, or a current family crisis).

 

  • Consider tensions or conflict from high school or adolescence (Caldwell)

  • Focus on a past job, special place you used to live, or beloved item you lost (Bragg)

  • Pick a photo that holds emotional associations and explore a detail that recalls a moment

  • Select a family ritual or tradition that might be especially important to you

  • Consider an aspect of your own cultural ancestry (language, food, heirloom) and explain how it has entered your life and what it reveals about your relationship to your culture.

  • Focus on some special aspect of your educational experience, a teacher or event (Landry)

  • Focus on a childhood incident or injury (Walls)

  • Explain a memorable life lesson or revelation (Yim)

  • Look through an old journal to find moments when you had your values challenged, had a difficult decision to make or were disappointed; use the memory as a starting point in which you reflect and put it in a larger context.

DETAILED ASSIGNMENT

20200922054306new_memoir_prompt__1_

Write a small shell (a “C” program) that accepts inputs from the user and processes these inputs to run different commands.

The fork system call is defined as follows :

pid_t fork(void);

  • Where pid_t return value differs for each process (child and parent)
  • If fork() is successful:
    • If the process is the newly created child: returns 0 (zero)
    • If the process is the parent: returns the child’s PID
  • If fork() is unsuccessful:
    • -1
    • No child process is created.

Use the return value to determine if the current process running is a parent or a child process. Another useful system call is the exec family of system calls. These are used to execute a file and load the executable file information and replace the currently running process information (Code, Data, Heap, and Stack sections). Notice that the system call loads the program in the currently running process address space and maintain the process PID, since the exec() system call does not create a new process but changes the currently running process memory.

In this lab, we will focus on one of exec system calls,

#include <unistd.h>

int execve(const char *filename, char *const argv[], char *const envp[]);

The function takes the following arguments:

  • filename: The name of the program to load. This must be either an executable or a script file that must start with the #!/bin/bash”.
  • argv: is an array of argument strings passed to the new program.
  • envp: is an array of strings, conventionally of the form key=value, which are the environment to the new program.

For this lab, you can set argv and envp to NULL. The exec() functions return only if an error has occurred. The return value is -1, and errno is set to indicate the error.

[IMAGE1]

For example, this program executes a fork system call and loads a new program “Prog” into the Child process. The “Prog” program exists in the same directory as the program since execv will look at the local file locations. If you want to point to other locations, you will have to use the full path using “/”. For example. If you want to run a program in a directory named “test”:

[IMAGE2]

Fork with execve system calls

To compile C program, we will start using a famous compiler named GCC, which stands for (GNU Compiler Collection). GCC is used to compile Linux kernel and a lot of mainstream applications since it is known for its stability. The following is the command line you use to compile a C program using GCC :

$ gcc c_program.c -o output

  • gcc : is the command to start the GCC compiler.
  • c_program : your “C” program to compile.
  • -o : an option to the GCC command to specify the name of the compiled program. In this case, the program will be named “output”. You can change this name according to your preference, although it is recommended to use descriptive names for your executables.

To run this program, you can simply use the “./”, the “.” means in this directory. For example, to run the output program:

$ ./output

LAB INSTRUCTIONS:

Write a small shell that accepts inputs from the user and processes these inputs to run different commands. These commands are small programs that you have in your local directory that you have to write as well. The programs are:

  • (FactNum.c)
    • A “C” program that calculates the factorial of a number, the numbers are obtained from the user.
    • The program is compiled and saved as “FN”.
  • (Strlen.c)
    • A “C” program that returns the number of characters in a user inputted string.
    • The program compiled and saved as “SL”.

Your Simple shell will accept input from the user which indicates the name of the program to run. your shell uses fork() to run the inputted command as a newly created process. The shell will use the execve() system call to load the commands’ code, data, heap, and stack data to replace the child shell data. Afterward, your shell will wait till the command is finished before it can prompt the user to enter the next command to run.

Functionality:

  • If the commands exist, the shell waits for the command to complete before prompting the user for a new command.
  • If the user inputs “End,” the shell exits.
  • If the command does not exist or causes an error, the shell should print an error message
