The objective of the study was to explore the self-concept of the adolescents with visual impairment with respect to gender. The sample was drawn from 60 adolescent students from various schools from the eastern part of India (West Bengal). Mean, Standard Deviation and Student's‘t’ test was computed for hypothesis testing. The findings illustrated no significant difference in the self concept scores with respect to gender except in the ‘Behaviour’ domain where the males scored higher than the females. The results of this study will assist parents, teachers, advocacy groups and special educators to comprehend the areas in which the students with visual impairment need help and support, in order to develop positive self concept.
