BDAE = Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination. SLT = Speech and Language Therapy. CILT = Constraint Induced Language Therapy

^*SAPJO was originally paired with BARWI who was discontinued secondary to the severity of his apraxia. A trained volunteer served as SAPJO's partner for remaining CILT sessions.

^**tPA = Tissue plasminogen activator, administered during acute hospitalization (prior to admission to inpatient rehabilitation)
