Abstract :
Objectives: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is highly common in children and can continue lifelong. Looking at children s participation in detail is excessively important since it affects their quality of life (QoL). The Iranian children s participation assessment scale is a questionnaire that determines children s participation and is primarily built for children with cerebral palsy. This study aims to estimate the psychometric properties of this questionnaire for children with ADHD. Methods: The content validity was estimated using the Lawshe method with 8 occupational therapy experts (5 with a PhD and 3 with a MA degree with at least 5 years of experience). Test-retest reliability was done using an intraclass correlation class (ICC) in a two-week interval among 30 children with ADHD. Results: Regarding content validity, CVI was found to be 1 for all items, and CVR values were between 0.75 and 1 for all items. Regarding reliability, the ICC result was 1 for all the items. Discussion: No item was omitted in the validity part, and all items showed good reliability. The test is valid and reliable for children with ADHD.
