Research Title: A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Development of
Disability Identity in Adults with Visual Impairments, including Blindness,
from their Lived Experiences during Adolescence in the Educational Setting


 

Being conducted by: Pepperdine University


 


Purpose of the Study


This study will use a qualitative research methodology with a
phenomenological approach to explore the development of disability identity
for adults with visual impairments, including blindness, reflecting on their
lived experiences during adolescence in the educational setting. From these
lived experiences in adolescence, the researcher hopes to understand the
phenomena of developing disability identity. The results from the study will
be used to educate educators and others who work in the field of visual
impairment, including blindness, about the development of disability
identity in the educational setting during adolescence.


 


Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study 


Participation in this study will require approximately 30 minutes. You will
be asked to complete a one-on-one semi-structured interview using a
researcher-created interview protocol and a brief demographics survey. A
pseudonym can be chosen and used in place of your identity for the study.
The interviews will take place in person or online using an accessible
virtual meeting platform, such as Zoom, where the audio and/or video will be
recorded and then transcribed into a written format. The interview will be
recorded for transcribing purposes only, and you will be emailed a copy of
your interview transcript to review for accuracy.
