Abstract

This study aims to explore the processes of spirituality reconstruction, independence development, and the stimulation of inclusive social participation among students with visual impairments. The study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, with data analyzed interactively through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that spirituality reconstruction was achieved through an understanding of Islamic theodicy, self-acceptance, and the internalization of spiritual values through tactile and auditory accessibility; independence was developed through orientation and mobility training, activities of daily living, and specialized skills; while inclusive social participation was strengthened through involvement in Islamic outreach activities and the use of screen-reader technology. These findings imply that integrating spirituality, independence, and learning accessibility can provide an important approach to strengthening the personal capacities, independence, and social participation of persons with visual impairments.
