Abstract
During my Ph.D. studies, I aim to assess the impact of social relationships with sighted peers and teachers on the self-concept and academic performance of adolescents with visual impairment. I am also investigating the factors which affect these social relationships, such as nationality, extent of vision loss, socio-economic status, parental and teaching support.
