Abstract:	Introduction Rationale: Activity and participation measures for children and adolescents such as the Young Children Participation and Environment Measure (YC-PEM), the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth (PEM-CY), and Pediatric Evaluation Disability Inventory-Computer Adapted Test (PEDI-CAT) are highly valued in research and practice. Although evidence highlights the necessity of using this kind of assessments, their implementation specially in other cultural contexts remains challenging. By considering the perspectives of stakeholders in the translation and adaptation process into other cultural contexts, the practicability of an assessment can be enhanced. Objectives: The presentation summarizes results of various studies in which stakeholder perspectives during cultural adaptation processes of the three participation measurements were included. Method: Translation and back translation procedures, discussions among stakeholders such as health professionals, translators, and parents are analyzed. Qualitative think-aloud interviews with parents on translated and adapted YC-PEM, PEM-CY and PEDI-CAT were performed. Results: Findings illustrate how stakeholders' perspective supports the adaptation and practicability of those assessments in other cultural contexts. Ideas and suggestions to implement them further into practice are highlighted. Application to Practice: Health professionals such as occupational therapists, who are aiming to evaluate activity and participation every day life situations of children and youth, will be introduced into the content and construct of the three assessments. Conclusion: More attention should be paid to the reasoning process, when translating and adapting an assessment. Involving cultural sensitive stakeholders into the adaptation process increases the probability of using assessments more frequently in practice.
