Abstract
This paper describes the process of goal displacement which has occurred in sheltered workshops for the blind, and analyzes the impact which it has had on two factors in this welfare system. The first concerns the effect which goal displacement has had upon blind workers and the whole employment program for the blind generally. The second concerns the ideologies which workers for the blind maintain about the capacities and desires of blind persons to work in commercial settings, and of the receptivity of sighted persons to hiring the blind.
