The present study was conducted to translate BMQ into Persian and normalize it for an Iranian audience and also determine the validity and reliability of this version.<br> Objectives: The purpose of this research was to provide a Persian version of the BMQ (P-BMQ) and to determine its validity and reliability.<br> Methods: The original version of BMQ was translated into Persian considering the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) protocol. Its content validity was assessed, then, cultural normalization and face validity assessment were carried out among 60 normal children. To determine the reliability of the questionnaire 30 children&rsquo;s parents were asked to participate in the retest (three to seven days later).<br> Results: For face validity, 80% of the participants gave above 4 meaning that each question obtained the normal score. The CVR coefficient for all questions was higher than 66.66%, meaning all the items were relevant to the evaluated attribute. Considering that the alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.986, the internal consistency was assessed to the optimal level. Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was significant in all components (p= 0.001).<br> Conclusion: The Persian version of the BMQ had a good quality translation according to the IQOLA protocol. This valid and reliable questionnaire could be used for 7 to12 year-old normal children.</p> Bufallo model questionnaire, (central)Auditory processing disorder, reliability, validity 71 77 http://fdj.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-112-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Saeedeh Khamisabadi khamisabadisaeede@gmail.com 10031947532846001577 10031947532846001577 No Iran university of Medical Sciences Mohsen Ahadi ahadi.m@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001578 10031947532846001578 No Iran university of Medical Sciences Shohreh Jalaie jalaeish@tums.ac.ir 10031947532846001579 10031947532846001579 No Tehran university of Medical Sciences Farnoush Jarollahi Jarollahi.f@iums.ac.ir 10031947532846001580 10031947532846001580 Yes Iran university of Medical Sciences Zohreh Ahmadi zohre.ahmadi.wa@gmail.com 10031947532846001581 10031947532846001581 No Iran university of Medical Sciences
