Assessment of psychosocial and academic adjustment of 30 undergraduates with visual impairments and 43 nondisabled undergraduates revealed no intergroup differences on psychosocial adjustment. The mean grade point average of subjects with visual impairments was higher than that of nondisabled subjects. Blind/low vision students scored higher than sighted students on self-esteem. (JDD)
