Abstract

Background and Aim: Children’s participation in leisure and recreational activities is associated with their well-being. The purpose of this study was to translate Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) test into Farsi and to determine its validity and reliability.
Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional study, A sample of 164 children with disability between 7-17 years old from special education school sampling were selected. Participants were evaluated with CAPE. The data were analyzed by SPSS 17.
Results: Item discriminate validity was shown by  85% scores for each of the questions in the subscale scores were significant and positive. Cronbach's coefficient α 0.86 and interclass correlation  Coefficients were >0.75 was calculated for the overall scale.  These score showed high validity and reliability of Farsi CAPE questionnaire.
Conclusion: Physical disability can affect participation in everyday activities and socialization. Knowledge about participation of disability children can help to therapist for establish interventions that fit with children’s preference and can promote their health and participation. Farsi version of the children’s assessment of participation and enjoyment (CAPE)  has acceptable validity and reliability rates. It is now useful enough to be used for clinical as well as research purposes.
