The Qualitative Report
In this paper, we describe the process of transformative co-authorship between researchers and a participant with disabilities.

Drawing from interview data obtained from the participant, one researcher wrote a poem that provided a stage for the researchers and the participant to engage in reflexive process that transformed the researchers-participant relationship to that of co-authors. This paper describes this transformative process and what everyone learned from this enriching experience.
