&lt;p&gt;Recent efforts have focused on enhancing wellness in community living seniors using evidence-based health promotion programs. However, very few of these programs have been tested in individuals aging with long-term physical disabilities (LTPD), such as muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, post-polio syndrome or spinal cord injury. This presentation describes a new academic-community partnership to adapt and test a NCOA endorsed intervention (EnhanceWellness) in people aging with LTPD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Objectives&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		By the end of this presentation attendees will be able to describe EnhanceWellness, an NCOA endorsed community-based health promotion program for older adults.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		By the end of this presentation attendees will understand the prevalence and impact of long-term physical disabilities, including spinal cord injury and muscular dystrophy, in older adults.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		By the end of this presentation attendees will be able to describe necessary adaptations to make interventions originally designed for older adults applicable for those aging with long-term physical disability.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		By the end of this presentation attendees will have an appreciation for the challenges and opportunities present in integration of aging and physical disability service networks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outcomes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pilot data from our first participants (n=8), which will include standardized scales measuring quality of life, emotional well-being, physical and social health and overall satisfaction with the program. Discussion of the adaptation process, including lessons learned, identification of challenges, and ways to remediate the inter-institutional and cultural barriers that exist between disability researchers and community agencies providing services to older adult&lt;/p&gt;
