Questo studio ha esplorato le esperienze di vita degli studenti con disabilità visiva parziale (SWPVI) nelle Scuole Primarie di Ambo utilizzando un approccio fenomenologico. Sono state condotte interviste in profondità con dieci SWPVI selezionati appositamente. L’analisi qualitativa ha rivelato quattro temi principali: servizi di supporto, sfide, strategie per superare le sfide e meccanismi di coping. I risultati indicano che gli SWPVI affrontano sfide relative agli atteggiamenti, alla mancanza di supporto scolastico, all’isolamento e all’istruzione differenziata insufficiente. In particolare, l’auto-empowerment è emerso come una strategia cruciale per superare le sfide legate alla scuola, mentre l’adattamento al sistema scolastico esistente ha funzionato come un comune meccanismo di coping tra i partecipanti. L’articolo si conclude con implicazioni per migliorare l’esperienza educativa degli SWPVI.
