Abstract
Social work training oriented specifically toward the visually handicapped is not widely available in schools of social work, and it is consequently the responsibility of rehabilitative agencies to provide such training programs. A fieldwork program at an unidentified state center for the visually handicapped is described under the headings of seven “themes” or dimensions of training.
