The condition of visual disability obstructs the child's development in various areas, i.e. cognitive, language, motor and social development. It creates the unique needs for the persons with visual disabilities. In order to meet their unique needs there must be provision for specialized guidance services in appropriate media, which enable them to most effectively compete with their peers in school and ultimately in society.This paper aims to find out the need of guidance of under-graduate visually challenged students and compare the guidance need of students with visual impairment as per their gender.
