Abstract:
The disability and aging communities differ significantly in their perceptions, definitions, and values about the independence and autonomy of disabled individuals. These viewpoints are reflected in the different services and goals of personal assistance provided to older and younger disabled persons.

We also review past efforts toward achieving a "unified agenda" between the aging and disability communities and outline possible future initiatives.
