The year is 1969, and fresh-out-of-college smart-aleck Howard Shane
has just landed his first teaching job—at Belchertown State
School, a bleak institution where people with disabilities endure
endless days of silence, tedium, and neglect. Howard is stunned by
the conditions at Belchertown and the challenges of his new job,
but as he gets to know his diverse, endearing, and intelligent
students, he becomes consumed with a mission: to unlock their
communication skills and help them reach their full potential.
Pitting his youthful idealism and passion against the rigidity of a
rule-bound administrator, Howard battles his way to small joys and
victories with his students—and, along the way, learns just as
much as he teaches. A stirring and spellbinding memoir from
internationally renowned AAC expert Howard Shane (Boston
Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School), Unsilenced is a
candid look at a pivotal era in disability history and a deeply
personal account of how all human beings can flourish when we care
for each other and fight for change.
