## Resource

For most of his life, Ryan was treated as if he couldn’t understand the world around him. Unable to speak reliably due to apraxia, he spent years in special education classrooms where his intelligence was not honored. But his mother Mary always believed there was more inside. At age 23, Ryan began communicating through spelling and everything changed. Finally the thoughts and insights that had been trapped inside him began to emerge: his deep spirituality, his love of music, and even experiences of shared consciousness and telepathy. In this episode, Ryan and Mary share their remarkable journey from silence to communication, and Ryan reveals what life is really like for nonspeakers who have always been aware, listening, and waiting to be heard.
