Description
According to Dr. Albert Bandura “Perceived self –confidence refers to believes in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the course of action required to produce a given attainment. He further states, “Among the forms of self-referent thought that affects action none is more central or pervasive than a person’s judgment of his or her capability to deal with continually changing realities”. Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met, they continue to be positive and accept themselves. A disability is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. Among all parts of human body, eye is considered to be the greatest natural gift to mankind which plays a significant role in making human body complete. Human eye helps the person to look around, to observe and drive a clear cut conclusion about the particular thing and object before acceptance. There are two categories of visually impaired adolescents, totally blind and adolescents having low vision. This study intends to investigate and derive a new scientific approach for boosting self-confidence and adjustment ability of visually impaired adolescents. Adjustment is the harmonious relationship of an individual to his/her environment which affords him comfort devoid of strain, stress, conflict and frustration. An adjustment is the behavioural process of balancing conflicting needs, or needs against obstacles in the environment. Adjustment consists in the reduction of inner needs, stresses and strains and, in this sense adjustment would be a unique pattern depending upon the personality and needs of the individual. Adjustment is part and parcel of life and is often considered as a continuous process wherein every moment the visually impaired adolescents are subjected to situations where they have to make an Adjustment. Adjustment brings happiness, efficiency, and some degree of social feelings.
