Describe this person’s speech in precise clinical terms, and referencing specific examples. Use sufficient detail that another clinician could recognize their speech from another recording. Pay particular attention to their PROSODY, ARTICULATION, and PHONATION during speech tasks. 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. Make sure to follow our class rules for case studies! Consider the whole person; explain all symptoms; keep it simple. (10 points) 4.
