BACKGROUND: translation and cross-cultural adaptation of instruments to the Brazilian Portuguese language. AIM: in Brazil, in the area of Speech-Language Pathology, there is a significant lack of commercially available formal and objective instruments that have as a purpose the evaluation and diagnosis of different communication disorders. Some researchers have tried to ease this problem by translating instruments available in other languages. Such procedure also contributes to the development of cross-cultural studies, which can bring knowledge about the communication disorders and their specificities in different languages. The aim of the present study is to discuss the procedures that should be adopted in this process. CONCLUSION: it is fundamental to adopt appropriate methodological procedures when translating and adapting foreign assessment instruments. |
