Abstract

The article deals with the research on the problem of blind and visually impaired teenagers’ psycho-logical correction, development and formation of self-construction. Optical defect influences personality development. Problems of personality formation are inseparable from the questions of social adaptation of children with profound visual impairment. The important aspect of adaptation is personality adaptation to his inner self. In the native and foreign scientists’ works, there are few re-searches on social adaptation and personality formation where the questions of blind and visually impaired personalities’ socialization and formation would be studied. The aim of the work is formation of positive self-construction within blind and visually impaired teenagers as a social adaptation factor through creating and testing of remedial programmes. The article gives the results of the research, conducted in two stages. With the aim of correcting, formation and development of teen-agers’ personality sphere, some remedial programmes were worked out. Positive dynamics demonstrates the effectiveness of remedial programmes on the formation of complex and positive self-construction as a factor of successful social adaptation, successfully implemented in Verkhnepyshminskaya School for five years.
