Background: Flourishing in the highly competitive world of academia poses challenges for all faculty members, especially for those with disabilities. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of faculty with disabilities in rehabilitation counseling education (RCE). Methods: The participants were five faculty members in a REC program in the United States. Each faculty member participated in a virtual 45--60-minute semistructured interview. Findings: Using thematic analysis, four themes were obtained: (a) grit and self-efficacy, (b) social support, (c) lack of awareness, and (d) accessibility and accommodations. Conclusions: Strategies to advance the progress and success of faculty with disabilities in REC are discussed.
