U, Unaided; SSR, created on the SentenceShaper; Post-U, Post-SSR Unaided. The transcripts are presented here in full and unpunctuated. Bracketed text shows authors’ gloss of apraxic utterances. Underlined text conveys themes and content in the Post-U sample that suggest carryover from the aided production.
