The aim of this study was to develop a transcultural adaptation of the Diagnostic Adaptive
Behavior Scale (DABS) in French and to perform a field evaluation of the adapted version of
the tool (DABS-F). Eight experts in intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and
two professional translators formed two committees to translate the instrument. Thirty-four
independent experts in IDD rated the clarity and relevance of the DABS-F. Results indicated
complete agreement between the two translation committees and also demonstrated very
satisfactory levels of clarity and relevance for the DABS-F. The latter result can be
considered as evidence of the content validity of the adapted tool. Adjustments for the few
items that presented less satisfactory results are discussed.
