Research Title: A Phenomenological Study Exploring the Development of 
Disability Identity in Adults with Visual Impairments, including 
Blindness, from their Lived Experiences during Adolescence in the 
Educational Setting



Being conducted by: Pepperdine University





Purpose of the Study

This study will use a qualitative research methodology with a 
phenomenological approach to explore the development of disability 
identity for adults with visual impairments, including blindness, 
reflecting on their lived experiences during adolescence in the 
educational setting. From these lived experiences in adolescence, the 
researcher hopes to understand the phenomena of developing disability 
identity. The results from the study will be used to educate 
educators and others who work in the field of visual impairment, 
including blindness, about the development of disability identity in 
the educational setting during adolescence.





Role of the Participants and Anticipated Length of the Study

Participation in this study will require approximately 30 minutes. 
You will be asked to complete a one-on-one semi-structured interview 
using a researcher-created interview protocol and a brief 
demographics survey. A pseudonym can be chosen and used in place of 
your identity for the study. The interviews will take place in person 
or online using an accessible virtual meeting platform, such as Zoom, 
where the audio and/or video will be recorded and then transcribed 
into a written format. The interview will be recorded for 
transcribing purposes only, and you will be emailed a copy of your 
interview transcript to review for accuracy.
