Method: A survey examining participation was conducted with a national convenience sample of 692 community-dwelling adults with disabilities. Results: Participants ⩽50 reported presence of more ( p 50 had higher ( p < .01) visits to pharmacies; higher ( p < .05) evaluative quality of participation (EQOP) at gas stations, exercise facilities, beauty salons/barbers, and use of transportation ( p < .01); and more difficulty participating without assistance at grocery stores ( p < .05) and gas stations ( p < .01). The early-onset group reported higher ( p < .05) EQOP at work/volunteer/education and homes of family/friends. The late-onset group reported higher ( p < .01) EQOP at exercise facilities; more ( p < .05) environmental supports at pharmacies, restaurants, grocery stores ( p < .01), doctors’ offices ( p ⩽ .01), and beauty salons/barbers ( p < .01); greater ( p < .01) influence of pain/fatigue; and more difficulty without assistance at grocery stores ( p < .05) and gas stations ( p < .01). Discussion: Understanding these differences can improve interventions to support community participation of individuals aging with disabilities. disability community participation age onset of disability The authors would like to acknowledge David B.
