Abstract
This chapter will present short stories about three men who are living with a disability and disability-associated chronic illnesses. By engaging with these stories and the reflective activities in this chapter, the reader will become more acquainted with some of the issues facing people with a disability and will be better equipped to be a more responsive and adaptable health practitioner. Key issues are centred around activity and participation limitations due to disability, the intersection of chronic illness and disability, and a strong desire to achieve personal goals despite the daily challenges these men face. But first, a short introduction to the three men who have shared their stories.
