Discapacidad visual en el entorno familiar, una visión desde el trabajo social

Abstract

The present work "Visual disability in the family environment, a vision from the Social Work", is based on research related to the problematic in the family environment that affects the visually impaired people knowing strategies and intervention models from the vision of Social work; allows us to know the socio-familial problems that occur in people with different types of visual impairment and their characteristics. As well as identifying the rights that support this group so that there is advice for both the group and their family environment; and based on this information, strategies and intervention models are proposed from a Social Work vision. For this investigation, the deductive method was used, starting from general categories related to visual impairment. Of the interviews applied, which coincide with several authors, they feel that they have the support of the family, however, in some situations they feel discrimination on the part of some member of the house hold, which causes them low self-esteem, confusion and fear. On the other hand, what most affects them emotionally and morally is their economic situation, since they do not have a job stability for them selves and their family.
