Introduction: ADHD is one of the most common diagnoses in child psychiatry, its early diagnosis is of great importance for intervention at family, school and social environment. Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a questionnaire was designed to assess activity limitations and participation restrictions in children with ADHD. The questionnaire was called "CLARP-ADHD Parent and Teacher Version". Objective: To determine the degree of internal consistency of the CLARP-ADHD questionnaire, and its concurrent validity with the "Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire SDQ parent and teacher version". Material and Methods: A sample of 203 children aged 6 to 12 with ADHD, currently attending school in five Colombian cities. The questionnaires were applied to parents and teachers. The internal consistency analysis was performed through Cronbach coefficient and concurrent validity using the Spearman correlation coefficient utilizing multiple and unique predictors through multiple linear regression as well as simple regression models. Results: A high internal consistency was found for global questionnaires for each of its domains. The CLARP-ADHD for parents gave as result an internal consistency of 0.83, and the CLARP-ADHD for teachers one of 0.93. Concurrent validity was found between the CLARP-ADHD and the SDQ Parent and Teacher version; also, concurrence between the CLARPADHD for Teachers and the SDQTeachers was found, as well as between CLARPADHD for Parents and CLARP ADHD Teachers, given by p values of p < 0.001.

Keywords : Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); International Classification of Functioning; Disability and Health (ICF); Results Reproducibility; Test Validity.
