It threads through the three elements of disability (visual impairment), psychosocial development of adolescents, and their educational achievement. It highlights how these concepts traverse across and cast an irrefutable impact on each other. The author prepares the ground by highlighting the failure of existing theories of disability studies in addressing issues concerning adolescents. She further critiques the psycho-medical approach to disability which undermines or disregards its social construction. The book provides an analysis of numerous issues affecting the psychosocial development of adolescents with visual impairment, which is further validated through narratives in educational settings. It also strongly advocates the need to create awareness about the basic ethics of human relationships and rights, moral consciousness and social and civic responsibilities, which can play a vital role in ensuring healthy psychosocial development of adolescents with visual impairment, and in ensuring inclusion. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Education,$x2211-193X 606 $aEducational psychology 606 $aSocial medicine 606 $aPersonality 606 $aDifference (Psychology) 606 $aEducational Psychology 606 $aHealth, Medicine and Society 606 $aPersonality and Differential Psychology 615 0$aEducational psychology. 615 0$aSocial medicine. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aDifference (Psychology) 615 14$aEducational Psychology. 615 24$aHealth, Medicine and Society. 615 24$aPersonality and Differential Psychology. 676 $a155.51824 700 $aDawn$b Ranjita$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01065530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299505003321 996 $aEducational Achievement and Psychosocial Transition in Visually Impaired Adolescents$92546471 997 $aUNINA
