	OBJECTIVES:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;abstracttext label=&quot;OBJECTIVES&quot; nlmcategory=&quot;OBJECTIVE&quot;&gt;In the United States, the average age of people living with early-acquired physical disabilities is increasing. This cohort is said to be aging with disability and represents a unique population among older adults. Given recent policy efforts designed to merge aging and disability services, it is critical that models of &amp;quot;successful aging&amp;quot; include and are relevant to this population. However, many current definitions of successful aging emphasize avoidance of disability and high levels of physical function as necessary to well-being.&lt;/abstracttext&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
	METHOD:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;abstracttext label=&quot;METHOD&quot; nlmcategory=&quot;METHODS&quot;&gt;In 9 focus groups, we examined perspectives of &amp;quot;successful aging&amp;quot; in 49 middle-aged and older individuals living with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, or postpolio syndrome. Transcripts were analyzed using a structured qualitative coding approach and Dedoose indexing software.&lt;/abstracttext&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
	RESULTS:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;abstracttext label=&quot;RESULTS&quot; nlmcategory=&quot;RESULTS&quot;&gt;Participants ranged in age from 45 to 80 years (M = 62) and had lived with their disability diagnosis for an average of 21 years. Analysis revealed 4 primary themes of successful aging: resilience/adaptation, autonomy, social connectedness, and physical health (including access to general and specialty healthcare).&lt;/abstracttext&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;
	DISCUSSION:&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;abstracttext label=&quot;DISCUSSION&quot; nlmcategory=&quot;CONCLUSIONS&quot;&gt;Results highlight the need for a nuanced application of the &amp;quot;successful aging&amp;quot; paradigm in this population.&lt;/abstracttext&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
