The study reported in this article explored the responses of individua ls who were being served by an agency for adults with visual impairmen ts to the increasing inclusion of people with developmental disabiliti es in addition to visual impairments in the agency's activities. Quali tative approaches, including observations, interviews, and a focus gro up, revealed frequent examples of problem-solving, and a survey admini stered to 24 participants found widely diverse attitudes.
