A master's thesis entitled "Obstacles of Social Adaptation for People with Visual Impairment in the Jordanian Society" was discussed in the Department of Sociology and Social Work in the Faculty of Arts at Yarmouk University. The thesis was submitted by student Faten Al-Ismail, who suffers from complete visual impairment, in the presence of the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Musa Rababa'a. The study aimed at identifying the obstacles of social adaptation at the social, academic, and environmental levels for people with visual impairments in the Jordanian society. The researcher deployed the qualitative approach through conducting a programmed (regulated) interview to collect data from a study sample that consisted of (15) male and female students with visual impairments at Yarmouk University. The study showed that academic obstacles ranked first, followed by environmental obstacles, and finally social obstacles. The discussion committee consisted of the thesis supervisor, Dr. Abdullah Kazan, Dr. Abdul-Khaleq Khatatneh (internal examiner), and Dr. Muhammad Hasinat (external examiner). Thus, the committee recommended granting the student Faten Al-Ismail a master's degree in sociology and social work.
