This study was conducted to develop a leisure time attitude scale for children with visual impairment. The study sample consisted of 579 children with visual impairment. With the consent of the children's parents and themselves, they were asked to answer the sociodemographic information form and the list of questions in the leisure time attitude scale for children with visual impairment, which was created by the researcher team based on expert opinion. Cronbach's Alpha and Omega coefficients of the scale were found to be 0.94. In the correlation coefficient used as the test-retest reliability method, a moderate and high-level positive relationship was found between the scores obtained from the first and second applications (0.74; 0.65; 0.72; 0.66). According to the criterion validity findings, a moderate positive and significant relationship was found between the scores obtained from the leisure time attitude scale for children with visual impairment and the general leisure time attitude scale (p<0.01). These results showed that the leisure time attitude scale for children with visual impairment is a valid and reliable new scale.
