Blind people find many difficulties unlike the normal people because of their
disability in examining and observing surroundings. The Blind depends on the
other senses which are, touching, hearing, testing, and smelling, for example
the blind examine through his touch the shape and weight of any subject. This
example highlights the major difficulties that face the blind compared a normal
person concerning the gaining knowledge process. The blind can't know the real
size or estimates the distances between subjects while the normal easily can do
all mentioned above. That means that blind can't excel in the cognition field as
the normal kid can do.
Movement is a very crucial issue that also blind people suffers
from and prevents him of gaining knowledge as normal people, the blind is so
cautious he moves slowly to avoid hitting with something or falling and get
injured. Therefore he blind is accompanied by a supervisor that leads him, this
attitude strength the feelings of dependency towards others by the blind. So to
avoid such an attitude family should give their son a space to depend on him
self.
The place and Environment has a great impact among the blind's
psychological conditions such as self-esteem and respect, which means if the
child is raised by a very worming and supportive family that teach the blind to
depend completely on them in every single movement or the child raised to be
neglected, rejected and never surrounded with love both environments will lead
to produce a very dependent, and weak personality. Parents should be wise in
raising their children be positive and built a strong bonds with their kids base
on love, understanding and mutual cooperation
Blinds are more likely to be socialized with the society around
them but being incapable of behaving like any normal person and the fact of
being reminded by everything around him of his disability this clashes leads to
only one thing that is isolated and loosing the will in participating or fitting
in the society.
The role of the school starts from this level; where different
techniques should be practiced to avoid this psychological problem as the
following:
- Teachers should trained them on how to walk alone without any assistant
the trains covers the following , walking on the street using the stick,
narrow roads, entering or exiting from a building, market, changing
directions, open and close doors, all that happened easily without accidents
if the blind activates his other senses such as the touching, hearing senses.

cloths using bathrooms, eating habits, acting , singing participating in
different activities
