Effects of Rational Emotive Behaviour and Reality Therapies on Socialisation Problems of Visually Impaired Students

Abstract

The study investigated the effects of Rational Emotive Behaviour of Visually Impaired Students. The study adopted the pre-test, post-test, control quasi-experimental design using a 3 x 2 x 2 factorial matrix. The subjects for the study consisted of 48 visually impaired students from Federal College of Education (Special) Oyo who were randomly assigned into treatment groups having been initially screened for socialisation problem. Finding revealed that the two therapeutic techniques proved effective at enhancing socialisation of visually impaired students. The findings have certain far-reaching implications for counselling psychologists, Special Educator Educational Administrators, parents policy makers and the Nigerian government.
