Preschool-age children who stutter can experience negative attitudes and beliefs about oneself. This information is essential to the assessment and intervention in speech and language therapy. However, there is only translated into European Portuguese (EP) the instrument Scale of Children’s Atittudes (A-19). The aim of this research is the translation, adaptation, and content validation of the assessment instrument Preschooler Awareness of Stuttering Survey (PASS), from English to EP. A cross-sectional descriptive qualitative methodology was used and the methodological procedures of translation, back-translation and panel of experts were implemented. In the translation phase, differences were noted between the original and the translated version regarding the semantic and idiomatic equivalences of different concepts and expressions. It was also verified the need to include new information to enhance the comprehension of the instrument application. In the back-translation, it was noted the use of synonyms of concepts/expressions of the original version, keeping the same type of sentence structure. The panel of experts focused on the conceptual equivalence of the items of the instrument's record sheets. It was considered that the concepts remained preserved, the items understandable, and the translation of the instrument appropriate to the intended target population. The continuation of this research aims to provide speech therapists with a new instrument to assess preschool-age children who stutter, contributing to a reliable assessment that enhances therapeutic intervention according to the characteristics and needs of each child.
