This article, a collaborative effort by 16 individuals with diverse disabilities and expertise, critically examines the limitations inherent in the current usage. We argue that prevailing interpretations of \u2018lived experience\u2019 presume subjectivity and over-emphasise narratives of suffering, leading to tokenism and a false dichotomy between lived experience and professional or academic expertise. These issues can undermine the true value and breadth of knowledge held by disabled people.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>To address these limitations, we propose a crucial distinction between \u2018disability lived experience\u2019 \u2013 the personal, embodied experience of disability \u2013 and \u2018disability lived expertise\u2019, which synthesises lived experience with a deep knowledge of the history, concepts, rights and collective experiences of people with disability, the core values of the disabled community, and advocacy skills needed to redesign and reshape the social environment to enable people with disabilities to flourish. This distinction aims not to diminish disability lived experience, but to more accurately recognise and legitimise the developed expertise many disabled people bring to various fields. By recognising the concept of disability lived expertise, we aim to foster more meaningful inclusion, challenge ableist power structures, and ensure that the expert contributions of disabled people are fully valued in driving social change.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1332\/17442648y2025d000000060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,14]],"date-time":"2025-08-14T22:16:11Z","timestamp":1755209771000},"page":"1-18","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Disability lived experience and expertise: recognising the expert contributions of people with disability"],"prefix":"10.1332","author":[{"given":"Shane","family":"Clifton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johnny","family":"Bourke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sam","family":"Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Free and Equal Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scott","family":"Denton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benny","family":"Dominish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Studies, University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clare","family":"Gibellini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women with Disabilities Australia and the National Disability Research Partnership, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Gilroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorna","family":"Hallahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Flinders University and the National Disability Research Partnership, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzie","family":"Jessep","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Studies, University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simon","family":"Katterl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Simon Katterl Consulting, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damian","family":"Mellifont","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruce","family":"O\u2019Brien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Studies, University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frances Quan","family":"Farrant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annmaree","family":"Watharow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert","family":"Wynn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injuries Australia, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"165","reference":[{"key":"CIT0001","series-title":"Routledge Handbook of Disability Studies","first-page":"14","article-title":"Understanding the social model of disability: past, present and future,","author":"Barnes, C.","year":"2020","unstructured":"Barnes, C.
