Research on Environmental Adaptation and Personalized Development of Visually Impaired Students in Colleges and Universities

Abstract

As the main participants of higher inclusive education, the adaptation of visually impaired students to the barrier-free environment and individual development in colleges and universities are extremely important to promote the development of higher inclusive education. This article selects three visually impaired college students from a university in Nanjing to conduct interviews to understand the adaptability and personal development experience of the visually impaired students to the school’s barrier-free physical environment, humanistic environment, and information environment. It is found that the university has achieved a stage in the construction of the barrier-free environment to results, but there are still shortcomings. This article puts forward the following suggestions in order to provide reference ideas for the further development of higher integrated education: improve barrier-free environment conditions; strengthen students' school adaptation training, especially psychological adjustment; and formulate personal development plans for visually impaired college students.
