Results: Results show that the blind and deaf students have moderate level of emotional intelligence. It is found that in compare with male deaf students, EI was significantly higher in female deaf students. There is negative and significant correlation between EI and age in blind students. Conclusion: With consider to this point that these students, for their physical limitations encounter to more problems, moderate level of EI is not enough for them. Since EI is flexible and could be increased through instruction so it should be trained to improve their abilities.
