This paper gives an account of a project with two objectives; first, to give greater prominence to social work with visually impaired people on a Diploma in Social Work programme with the establishment of a particular area of practice focusing upon the needs of blind and partially sighted people, and second, to positively attract students with visual disabilities to social work training. Both objectives are rooted in an analysis based upon the social model of disability which asserts that it is society which disables by responding negatively to the needs of people with disabilities.
