Abstract Adolescents with visual impairment face numerous challenges, particularly in areas of growth and development such as socialization and physical milestones. This study explores the challenges in play activities and the perceived need for peer support among visually impaired adolescents. A qualitative approach was employed, targeting visually impaired adolescents aged 12–15 years studying at a government special school for the visually impaired in Chennai. Using purposive sampling, five students were individually interviewed, and their responses were analysed through thematic coding. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: peer support as a central aspect of their lives, the importance of a healthy ecosystem, and the role of engagement in play activities. The findings highlight critical factors that influence the emotional, social, and physical development of visually impaired adolescents, providing insights into their experiences and the support needed to foster positive relationships and holistic growth.
