TEACHER INTERVENTION ON STUDENT'S SOCIAL SKILLS AMONG VISUALLY IMPAIRED LEARNERS JOVELYN DAÑO , et al . Cordova Public College danojovelyn.cte.cpc.023@gmail.com This study aimed to investigate teacher intervention's impact on the social skills development of visually impaired learners within an educational setting. This study utilized qualitative research. The respondents used a random sampling technique, which was done at Marigondon Elementary School, with a sample total of ten (10) teacher- respondents in all grade levels who are handling visually impaired learners. They were permitted to participate in an in-depth interview with the researchers regarding their lived experiences in the teaching field. The themes were derived from the data and analyzed. Findings from the study revealed that teachers have employed various techniques, such as audiovisual aids, user-friendly physical environments, group activities, problem-solving tasks, and individual guidance, to enhance their students' learning. By fostering collaboration, effective classroom management, and using individualized learning plans, these strategies have positively impacted the development of visually impaired students. Despite their effectiveness, challenges remain in encouraging participation and interaction in class, promoting socialization, and addressing the emotional and physiological difficulties associated with low vision. Teachers also foster peer relationships and provide hands-on experiences to address these challenges. Overall, the effectiveness of teachers' interventions and strategies to support the learning and development of visually impaired students has been well demonstrated. Moreover, the study's findings revealed that regular teachers were the prominent resource for learners with visual impairments. The findings found that teachers could not regularly provide services to visually impaired students due to insufficient resources teachers and inadequate teaching materials. Visually impaired kids experienced academic, social, and physical problems that hampered their development, emphasizing the importance of adequate material resources, trained special education teachers, and school adaptive learning environments.
