Abstract

Visual impairment is a weakness that blind students must overcome. Additionally, this disability impairs a range of aspects of their daily lives. Notable is their capacity to shape their environment to satisfy their psychological needs. Blind students require a high level of environmental mastery to learn and develop in an environment that promotes their psychological well-being and development. As a result of this research, an educational tool called Bibliotherapy was developed to aid teachers in increasing students' environmental awareness. Plomp's three-stage theory serves as the basis for this research and development. This research has been carried out until the product realization stage, so that the next stage for the validity and effectiveness of bibliotherapy becomes a recommendation for further research. This result can also be regarded as an illustration of how teachers can use Bibliotherapy to increase students' environmental mastery.
