Focuses on a population of people with disabilities who are "ageing in place," that is, individuals ageing with pre-existing physical disabilities. A brief overview of people ageing with disabilities and selected background information on the increasing linkages between the ageing and disability communities is provided. Four case examples illustrate the practice implications faced by social workers in partnering with people with pre-existing disabilities and in being sensitive to their desires concerning ageing in place.
