Objective: The purpose of this study was evaluating the impact of group problem-solving training on social skills for students with visual impairment.

The participants consisted of 20 randomly selected students with visual impairment studying at Ababasir Center in Isfahan, and assigned into experimental and control groups. The scale was teacher’s form of Social Skill Rating System of Gresham and Elliot. Data were analyzed with covariance analysis. Results: Results showed that the training of group problem solving could increase social skills in the students (P=0.0001), and decreased the externalizing behavior problems (P=0/0001). The analysis of follow up data showed that these effects continued for one month (P=0.0001). Conclusion: This research emphasizes that group problem solving can enhance the social skills, and decrease the externalizing problems in students with vision loss.
