"Storytelling is the oldest form of education." — Terry Tempest Williams

Stories are a powerful form of knowledge. This digital archive features first-person stories from people with disabilities and their care partners, highlighting lived experiences, resilience, identity, and community.

At ENGAGED, we recognize lived experience as essential to advancing community-engaged rehabilitation research. By sharing their stories in their own voices, contributors help deepen understanding of disability, challenge assumptions, and inform more equitable research, practice, and policy.

These stories serve as valuable resources for education, advocacy, scholarship, and community engagement.
