We have written a lot about disability in older adults here on GeriPal. Here are just a couple of examples:
- Successful Aging Does Not Equal Aging without Disability
- Preventing Disability vs. Improving Quality of Life for Elders Living with Disability: Both are Important
- Many Disabled Seniors Have a Good Quality of Life
- Thoughts on Disability
- Life Space: Living Well Despite Disability

Hi,
This posting was a thought provoking addition to my morning that I really enjoyed. It accords with a social work way of looking at the pople we work with in a fuller way.
As an aside, i'd love to see some info on issues like hearing and sight loss and how this affects folks as they age. Especially as the major age group now is the baby boomers who are hitting the big 65 and more.
Crossing a university being blind or finding your way being deaf or hard of hearing has its challenges and socialization optiosn can be really affected as well as ADLs and IADLs.
