Adolescence: The Age of Opportunities and Obstacles for Students with Low Vision in Sweden

Abstract

This study explored how four adolescents with low vision and two sighted adolescents spent their leisure time and whether their everyday activities were bound to places or people. According to the diaries they kept, the adolescents with low vision performed fewer activities than the sighted adolescents, did not regularly spend much time with friends, and seemed to be dependent on their parents for transportation.
