Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of
people ageing with disability, and they have also been largely
overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service
systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to
pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with
disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this
developing field and across different groups of people with
disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities
across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific
groups. Drawing from academic, personal, and clinical perspectives,
the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with
disability experience is framed, the heterogeneity of the
population ageing with disability and the disability experience,
issues of social exclusion, health and wellness, frailty, later
life, and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various
countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge
in this field, the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers,
practitioners, and policy makers about what matters in providing
services, developing programmes, and implementing policies that
support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their
families.
