Abstract
This study attempted to investigate the problems of those suffering from adventitious blindness’s psychological adjustment to Braille learning. This study provided suggestions for those problems to help the visually impaired. We selected eight individuals living with adventitious blindness in New Taipei city as the target for the study. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and document collection with the blind.This study employed grounded theory to analyze the data. We found that those with adventitious blindness would meet two problems when they tried to adjust their attitude to being blind: (1) the barrier of self-acceptance; (2) the limitation that is caused by Braille-reading’s slow speed. Furthermore, this study also revealed five supports for psychological adjustment: (1) self-identity; (2) carelessness of others; (3) needs for Braille learning; (4) media for independence; (5) attitude of significant others. Based on the results, this study tried to provide propositions for those obstacles to help those with adventitious blindness to solve them.
