The concepts of the study were defined in (self-concept, adaptive behavior), which is a descriptive study based on the social survey approach with a random sample, and it assumes the existence of a statistically significant positive correlation. Between self-concept and adaptive behavior of blind students, The study tools were determined to measure the self-concept and adaptive behavior of the blind, and were applied to (70) individual blind students at Al-Noor School for the Blind in Giza. It concluded that the level of self-concept and the level of adaptive behavior were average among the study sample.
