Abstract

This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach, involving various techniques, such as participant observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, to explore the adaptation phenomena of visually impaired individuals at the Technical Service Unit (UPT) for Social Rehabilitation for the Visually Impaired in Malang, Indonesia. The research findings indicate that their self-adjustment involves complexities arising from differences in abilities and individual conditions. The dynamics of social relations within the UPT also play a significant role in shaping their experiences and quality of life. The research findings highlight the need for holistic and inclusive efforts to understand and address emerging issues so that visually impaired individuals can develop their full potential in a supportive social context. Practical implications of this research include recommendations to enhance services and support for visually impaired individuals, while promoting social inclusion for them. These concrete steps are expected to contribute positively to the welfare and social potential development of visually impaired individuals in Indonesia and other countries.
