One of the aims on which the construction of the social environment is based is to identify (and implement) the necessary means for the integration of all citizens into its structures. Taking this into consideration, we appreciate the importance to know and explore problematic contexts that make the adaptation process difficult, such as the phenomenon of social self-isolation, and the implications that their installation generates in the current social reality. The need to identify the perception of young blind people about the presence of this phenomenon in the community provides a significant basis in intervention. The correlation between age, social context, support network and self-perception is followed in this study in order to build an image of the main factors that cause this phenomenon to occur in the context of visual disability.
