Improvements in health care & living conditions have increased the number of persons with developmental disabilities living into old age. Here, data obtained during interviews with 29 key informants from the developmental disabilities & aging service networks are drawn on to identify issues involved in normative aging & health care, & factors affecting access to community-based programs & services. The need for service providers to work closely with family caregivers & advocates as the most critical issues in providing services to the developmentally disabled elderly is stressed as is the need for training in the areas of expected physical & psychological changes associated with aging & health care. Implications for social work education & practice are discussed.
