Reviews
"Social change occurs when an insight is wedded to an irresistible force. Robert Stack is such a force. His insight has been that some rights are unreal unless there are community infrastructures for them. This is the story of his heroic work making real the rights of the disabled." - George F. Will, Award-Winning Columnist "A great society goes beyond caring for its citizens; it recognizes and respects them for who they are, and provides them with newfound hope and opportunity. Robert Stack's decades of heroic work to improve the lives of people with disabilities, including that of my son Patrick, deserves everlasting acclaim. But these pages will reveal what Robert has long known, that those who truly deserve our recognition and respect are those often without a voice, those we must lift up and value if we are to achieve our ideals as an honorable and just society." - John F. Crowley, President and CEO, Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO)
Synopsis
Since ancient times, people with disabilities have been ridiculed, ignored, and even tortured - and while this problem has plagued society for far too long, the media has largely turned a blind eye to it. Silent No Longer is the story of Robert Stack's forty-year career in the disability industry, revealing the horrible neglect that persists today and asking why tens of thousands of people are still unnecessarily incarcerated in institutions that fail them. Stack is a veteran of the industry and the founder and CEO of Community Options - one of the largest non-profit organizations supporting persons with disabilities today - and offers a firsthand account of the neglect and abuse he has witnessed in his decades of advocacy. In this eye-opening dive into the disability industry, Stack pulls back the curtain on the systemic mistreatment that has plagued the disability community for far too long: Exposing the disturbing rise of private equity firms investing in facilities that prioritize profits over care; Highlighting the tactics used to make substandard institutions appear high-quality; Revealing the stark disparities in funding and care across the United States. With over 7 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in America, and some 80 million family members who love and care for them, Silent No Longer is a crucial resource for industry professionals and policymakers alike - and a demand that we restore dignity to those most vulnerable members of our society., USA Today Bestseller Publishers Weekly Bestseller From one of the nation's most dedicated advocates for those with disabilities, an exposé of the insidious takeover of disability supports by private equity firms and a clarion call for urgent systemic change in a broken industry that has mistreated millions.

    The shipping was rocket fast, the packaging was super protective of the merchandise, the book was exactly as described, and it was an excellent value well below what I would've had to have paid to Amazon for the book. Buy from this seller! You can't go wrong.
