Resources

Books, organizations, and reading I recommend.

A starting point for clients, caregivers, and the curious. More guides coming as I write them.

Sam's reading list

Books I recommend often.

Three books I find myself recommending to clients, families, and anyone curious about what communication, disability, and recovery actually look like.

Demystifying Disability

Emily Ladau

A clear, plainspoken primer for anyone who wants to be a better friend, family member, colleague, or community member to disabled people.

Out With It

Katherine Preston

A memoir on stuttering, identity, and the long road to speaking on your own terms.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

Jean-Dominique Bauby

Bauby's memoir, dictated by blinking after a brainstem stroke. Required reading on what communication means.
