They will discuss the principles of disability justice and the role art therapists play in this framework as mental health professionals. The panelists will also examine key aspects of disability culture, share practical strategies for making art therapy more accessible, and discuss how art therapists can foster allyship with disability communities, serving as agents of cultural change in the fight against ableism.
