Research objective aimed at establishing how learners with visual impairement describe their use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in selected secondary schools of Kabwe district. The question was, how do learners with visual impairment describe their use of ICT in selected schools of Kabwe district? It had a sample of twenty -two (22) participants. It used the following instruments; Unstructured interview guide was employed to collect data from parents and class teachers. The focus group discussion guide was used to collect data from learners. Additionally, the observation checklist was used to for observing learners while learning ICT.
