Social representations are formed from socially constructed opinions regarding a given object and have four functions (knowledge, identity, orientation, justification). The purpose of this article is to document the social representations that exist within seniors\u2019 organizations regarding participation by older people with impairments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this mixed-methods study, an exploratory sequential design was applied. First, a qualitative phase involved meetings with five focus groups to explore how participants would manage difficult situations in which the inclusion of an older person with impairments must be addressed. Second, a quantitative phase consisted of a questionnaire administered to 86 respondents to examine the components of social representations about the participation of older people with impairments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results show that, although research participants acknowledge that all seniors have the right to participate, this right confronts a collective identity infused with aging model that demands a youthful, \u201cun-disabled\u201d appearance and activities. In terms of the orientation function, making participation a reality is seen as relying on the efforts of people with impairments, but when there is a failure of inclusiveness, the reasons offered to justify it concern the resources available, rather than possible prejudices.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>Interpretation of the results leads to recommendations for both implementing an inclusion philosophy and practices in seniors\u2019 organizations and revisiting the view of impairment in old age as otherness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnaa011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,22]],"date-time":"2020-01-22T04:29:15Z","timestamp":1579667355000},"page":"1126-1136","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Participation of People With Impairments in Seniors\u2019 Organizations: Conditions and Limitations on Inclusion"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"\u00c9milie","family":"Raymond","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work and Criminology, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M\u00e9lanie","family":"Lantagne Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche en r\u00e9adaptation et int\u00e9gration sociale (CIRRIS), Quebec City, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0090","volume-title":"Methodes d\u2019etude des representations sociales","author":"Abric","year":"2003"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0001","volume-title":"Pratiques sociales et repr\u00e9sentations","author":"Abric","year":"2011"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1275","DOI":"10.1080\/09638280802572940","article-title":"Can personal and environmental factors explain participation of older adults?","volume":"31","author":"Anaby","year":"2009","journal-title":"Disability and Rehabilitation"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0003","first-page":"1830","article-title":"Examining participation among persons with spinal cord injuries and disorders using photovoice","volume":"22","author":"Balbale","year":"2017","journal-title":"Qualitative Report (Online)"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.12241","article-title":"Facilitators and barriers to social and community participation following spinal cord injury","volume":"63","author":"Barclay","year":"2016","journal-title":"Australian Occupational Therapy Journal"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.5334\/ijic.1086","volume-title":"The Toronto declaration on bridging knowledge, policy and practice in aging and disability","author":"Bickenbach","year":"2012"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-6612.2005.00061.x","article-title":"Another minority group: Use of aged care day programs and community leisure services by older people with lifelong disability","volume":"24","author":"Bigby","year":"2005","journal-title":"Australian Journal on Ageing"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0007","volume-title":"Social inclusion, participation and empowerment","author":"Cappo","year":"2003"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0008","volume-title":"Qualitative inquiry and research design: Choosing among five approaches","author":"Creswell","year":"2007"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0009","volume-title":"Designing and conducting mixed methods research","author":"Creswell","year":"2011"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.7202\/006357ar","article-title":"Processus de production du handicap et lutte pour l\u2019autonomie des personnes handicap\u00e9es","volume":"10","author":"Fougeyrollas","year":"1986","journal-title":"Anthropologie et Soci\u00e9t\u00e9s"},{"key":"2020081409070097800_CIT0011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1515\/9782763710068","volume-title":"Le funambule, le fil et la toile.
