The Institute on Community Integration (ICI) at the University of Minnesota has released an Impact feature issue on Retirement and Aging for People with Intellectual, Developmental, and Other Disabilities. This issue of Impact explores aging and retirement and urges policymakers, researchers, and others to create healthy, integrated retirement opportunities for this population. Individual articles discuss advocacy and equality during and after retirement, critical needs and unanswered questions during retirement, a conversation on aging and disability, and more.
The Administration for Community Living, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, brings together the efforts of the Administration on Aging, the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and the HHS Office on Disability to serve as the Federal agency responsible for increasing access to community supports, while focusing attention and resources on the unique needs of older Americans and people with disabilities across the lifespan. http://www.hhs.gov/acl/
