Abstract

This roundtable discussion explores the lived experience of three drama therapists who identify as disabled, chronically ill and/or neurodivergent. Within this dialogue, therapist–researchers explore the impact of ableism within the field as well as the unique experience of being a disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent therapist existing within our current healthcare system. These authors represent just three out of a myriad of experiences.
