Introduction

Coping skills are those skills that we use to offset disadvantages in

day to day life. Coping skills can be seen as a sort of adaptation, such

as the finely tuned hearing that many visually impaired people develop.

Coping skills can be positive or negative. Positive coping skills help us

get through situations at nearly the same level as those who do not
have the disadvantage. Negative coping skills, however, may provide
short-term relief or distraction, but ultimately worsen our
disadvantage.
