Older and younger adults with disabilities share common challenges, from navigating inaccessible environments to finding care providers who understand the intersection of disability, health, and wellness. As more people age with long-term or lifelong disabilities, there is a growing need to bridge aging and disability research, practice, and policy.
This free webinar will begin with a presentation by national expert, Dr. Michelle Putnam, exploring the importance of bridging aging and disability, why this work is critical now, and key actions needed to advance it. A panel of local experts from Minnesota will then share their perspectives, highlighting real-world challenges and opportunities for collaboration.
