Sevim Bahadır and Oğuzhan Bahadır*

This study aims to identify the challenges encountered by visually impaired students during their learning process at school. The sample of the study consists of all students (25 students) studying at Ertuğrul Gazi School for the Visually Impaired in Onikişubat district of Kahramanmaraş province in Turkey, covering grades 5 to 8. The study was conducted during the 2021 academic year, utilizing the qualitative research method with interviews as the primary data collection technique.

Through the analysis of the data obtained from the interviews, it was revealed that visually impaired students face difficulties in the learning process at school, primarily stemming from the inadequacy of the school’s physical conditions. The most significant challenge among these difficulties is the lack of auditory cues and routes. Additionally, learning difficulties arise from the materials used in classes and the implementation of measurement and evaluation practices for visually impaired students.
