The purpose of this study was to compare the problem behaviours of students with visual impairments with typically developing students. The study groups consisted of 64 students with visual impairments and 68 typically developing students ranged from the first to fourth grade. The Social Skills Rating Scale Teacher Form was used to evaluate the problem behaviours of the groups. The results of the study indicated that problem behaviours of students with visual impairments were higher than typically developing peers’ problem behaviours. The results of the study also indicated that age, gender and the degree of visual impairments (having low vision or severe visual impairments) had no effect on the problem behaviours of students with visual impairments. Findings of this study were discussed and suggestions for future research and practice were provided.
