The Lives of the Silent
Stories of Quiet Courage and Connection
Paperback
Author: Andrew Houvouras
The silent—individuals with limited abilities to communicate—have historically been excluded from society. For too many, their homes were institutions or residential treatment centers. Their lives, heartaches, struggles, and triumphs were largely unseen, unheard, unknown, and undocumented. But their stories are worth telling.
Demonstrating a soul-stirring resilience, the silent speak to us through their actions, providing an underappreciated, honest, and revealing look into the human condition. The accounts in this book are lively snippets of the lasting, life-changing lessons that transformed my ideas about disabilities, as well as the progress that results from practicing the empathic, client-centered science of human behavior.

A Note on Topics: This book contains stories with swearing and sensitive topics that may be triggering to some readers. A behavior analyst describes in detail what is observed, so I have chosen not to sugarcoat the language that was sometimes used, nor do I gloss over difficult subjects. The silent were always authentic. I want their stories to be authentic as well.
