In contemporary society, a topic that has been gaining interest by scholars has been population aging. The increase in life expectancy of people with disabilities reflects on the aging of this population, and as a result, intersectionality arises: disability and aging. A recent phenomenon, relevant and still little studied, but with great potential for advancement and intervention. In this perspective, considering the context presented and with a view to contributing to the construction of knowledge about the aging process of people with disabilities, the objective was to carry out an analysis in the light of life-span perspective of Baltes and the Lev Semionovich Vigotski’s Defectology, which even (at that moment) did not contemplate aging in their discussions, it is believed that it brings an important conception of development throughout life, especially when it comes to people with disabilities. The methodology adopted used the analysis of the aforementioned perspectives and their contributions to the aging of people with disabilities. The results showed that both the life-span perspective and defectology believe in the cultural and integral development of the personality of people with disabilities and advocate that these people achieve new learning throughout their lives through social interactions. The discussion presented here highlights the relevance of the topic addressed, the emergence of interest among researchers in the field of aging, and the importance of including elderly people with disabilities in studies of human development. It is concluded that both perspectives contribute to studies of the development of elderly people with disabilities.
