        abstract = {The present study explores the relationship between self-concept and emotional stability among individuals with visual impairments, particularly focusing on two subgroups: those with total blindness and those with low vision. Self-concept, the perception individuals have about themselves, and emotional stability, the capacity to manage emotions in challenging circumstances, are critical for psychological adjustment. A sample of 120 participants (60 with blindness and 60 with low vision), aged between 15 to 30 years, were selected from special and inclusive educational institutions across urban India. Standardized tools including the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale and the Emotional Stability Questionnaire were administered. The results indicate significant differences in self-concept and emotional stability between the two groups, with individuals with low vision reporting higher levels of self-concept and emotional stability. The study highlights the importance of early interventions, inclusive education, and counselling support to enhance the emotional and psychological wellbeing of persons with visual impairments.},
