Back ground: Bullying is commonplace among students with disabilities. Children with special needs expose to peer victimization twice to three times frequently more than the general population, and the rate of bullying increases for those with observable disabilities. Adolescent girls with visual impairment become frequently the targets of bullying.

Results: the findings of current study showed that 70% of adolescent girls had good knowledge on post intervention compared to 70% of them had poor knowledge on pre intervention. Mean of total score of adolescent girls’ problems with bullying was decreased on post intervention (16.47 ± 4.90) compared to (27.40 ± 4.33) on pre intervention.
