Description:Self published in 2008 'Words Unspoken' is the first UK collection of writings by seven young users of Facilitation Communication – Josh, Heathar, Anthony, Paul-Thomas, Judathan, Raphael and Danian. The foreword by Joe Whitaker, University of Bolton summarises the impact of this collection as follows:
'If this term (inclusive education) has any meaning of worth, the rhetoric has to be translated into the acceptance of different realities, and the acceptance of different lived experiences. For the authors of this book there is a continual and often exhausting struggle to have their voices heard. There is a massive amount of time and work required to get each and every word onto paper - effort that perhaps many of us will never truly appreciate'
In a time when the autobiographical voice of individuals with the label of autism is being heard more and more this book makes an important contribution. |
