OverviewThe Canadian Centre on Disability Studies will conduct this yearlong participatory and action based research project, in partnership with advisory committees from Manitoba, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and nationally to identify needs, gaps and good practice models of caregiving/ supports, transportation and housing for people with long-term disabilities who are aging. The purpose of this website is to share and disseminate information on the topic of Aging with a Long-term Disability. The project goal is to address transitional issues between the disability and seniors sectors as we age with a long-term disability by developing a pilot knowledge-based framework for addressing the needs of an aging population of people with disabilities.

The framework will support community living and participation and will be based on national and inter-provincial partnerships between community organizations, service providers, researchers and government departments. Some key questions the research will address are:
