Abstract	Co-existing alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) and blindness or visually impairment may complicate the delivery of rehabilitation services. Professionals working with individuals who are blind or visually impaired need to be aware of unique issues facing those with co-existing disabilities. This study sought to examine the AODA training needs, attitudes, and knowledge of blindness and visual impairment professionals. Twenty participants agreed to participate in a co-existing disabilities training session. During the training, each participant was asked to complete a questionnaire measuring his or her previous AODA training and knowledge and attitudes toward people with co-existing disabilities. Results revealed negative attitudes toward people with AODA and highlighted training needs of professionals who serve people with co-existing AODA and blindness or visual impairment. (Contains 3 tables.) (As Provided).
