Impact of Daily Living Skills on the Social Adjustment of Learners with Visual Impairment in Fako Division Southwest Region, Cameroon

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of daily living skills on the social adjustment of visually impaired learners in Fako Division, Southwest Region, Cameroon. Daily living skills are critical for visually impaired people who need to adjust to society and deal with the challenges of living reasonably independent lives. The ability to carry out routine daily activities is critical for a person's well-being, self-esteem, and social adjustment. The study sought to discover how personal grooming and home management skills influence the social adjustment of visually impaired students. There were two research questions and two research hypotheses proposed.

Other authors' concepts, theories, and works were reviewed in the literature. A sample population of 20 people was used in the survey research design. The researcher chose the school using the purposive sampling technique. Structured interviews were used to collect data, which was then analyzed with the chi-square test. The study's findings revealed a significant relationship between daily living skills and social adjustment of learners with visual impairment. This implies that in order for people with visual impairments to adjust socially, they must be proficient in daily living skills.
