Abstract

Aging with disability may follow several trajectories, depending on the nature of the disability, the age of onset, the individual differences in the person, and the support systems available. This article will discuss theories of aging and loss together with various neurological diagnoses, where the two conditions (aging and neurological condition) lead to individual differences in coping, compensation, and outcome.
