Background: Teenage girls, who are a vulnerable group, require special care and attention, particularly when puberty begins. A consistent teaching program about menstruation should be offered to adolescent girls with visual disabilities.
Aim: The goal of this research was to evaluate the effect of an audio instructional program regarding puberty on self-concept and healthy behavior of teenage girls with visual impairment.
Methods: A Quasi-experimental research design. The study was carried out in Al- Nor and Al- Aml schools in Port-Said city & Damietta city, one school in each city. Purposive sampling included 46 visually impaired teenage girls (25) at Port-Said City and (21) at Damietta City. Data collection instruments: Survey for Structured Interviews, Adolescents' Self-concept Short Scale, puberty healthy behavior questionnaire.
