| Annotation | Introduction to and commentary on a special issue of this journal on ageing with disability. People born with or acquiring disabilities at an early age are reaching ages that were never thought possible in previous generations. People with physical, developmental or learning disabilities are reaching old age at higher rates than ever before. Accordingly, policymakers and practice professionals are not only beginning to recognise this emergent group of older adults as having diverse disability experiences and support needs, but they are also recognising a lack of evidence upon which to develop policy and programmes to develop the needs of this growing group.
