Abstract
The study called "The Path: Journey of Blind Adolescents" is about what blind teenagers go through every day. This is a time for them because they are growing up and they have to deal with a lot of things like not being able to move around easily not being able to go to school like other kids and not being able to make friends. The study wants to know how being blind affects their life how they feel, who they hang out with and what they want to be when they grow up. The present study was conducted among 50 adolescents, comprising 25 boys and 25 girls, from two schools located in Vadodara district, Gujarat. The researcher collected data through a structured questionnaire and recorded the responses provided by the participants. The study focused on understanding various aspects of their lives, including the challenges they face in learning, their sense of belonging, the support received from their families, the use of assistive technology, and their level of self-confidence and self-perception. What the study found out is that even though blind teenagers have a lot of problems like not being able to get around not being able to understand what they are learning they are really good at dealing with these problems. They can do things on their own. They have big dreams. Their family, teachers and special technology help them feel more confident and do better. The study also says that we need to make things easier for them to get around make sure they can go to school like kids and tell people more about what it is like to be blind so they do not treat them badly. This study helps us understand what life is like for teenagers and it shows us that we need to be kind and helpful so they can grow up and be independent and happy. The study is about blind adolescents and how we can help them have a better life. Blind adolescents need our support. We need to make sure they have the same chances, as everyone else.
