    Turkish Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Test of Ideational Praxis
    (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2026) Asqarova, Sevda; May-Benson, Teresa; Sagliyan, Mustafa; Balikci, Aymen; Sirma, Gamze Cagla
    Introduction: The Test of Ideational Praxis is a performance-based assessment designed to identify ideational praxis difficulties in children aged 3-12. However, Turkish therapists are currently unable to use this tool due to the lack of a linguistically and culturally appropriate version. This study aimed to develop a culturally adapted Turkish version of the Test of Ideational Praxis to support future normative data collection, psychometric evaluations and clinical application.Method: A seven-step process for translation and cross-cultural adaptation was conducted, including forward and backwards translation, expert synthesis, linguistic review, structured therapist evaluations and pre-testing with children. Each step was guided by established literature and best practice guidelines.Findings: The translation and adaptation process was completed successfully with 29 participants, including translators, therapists and 10 typically developing children aged 6-8 years (four girls and six boys). While minor revisions were required during the synthesis and linguistic review phases, the forward translations showed strong semantic and conceptual consistency. Discrepancies observed in the back translation were limited to phrasing and did not affect standardised administration or scoring. Both therapists and children confirmed that the Turkish version was clear, comprehensible and culturally appropriate, with no expressions, instructions or symbolic representations perceived as problematic.Conclusion: The Turkish translation and adaptation of the Test of Ideational Praxis provides a culturally adapted instrument that supports future validation studies and clinical piloting, offering a foundation for both research and practice on ideational praxis development in Türkiye.

    Turkish Translation/Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Analyses of the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (ahemd-Is)
    (Sage Publications inc, 2023) Apaydin, Umut; Eraslan, Rabia; Balikci, Aymen; Elbasan, Buelent
    In this study we translated the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development-Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) into Turkish, adapted the instrument culturally, examined its psychometric properties within a Turkish population, and identified its limitations. We administered the AHEMD-IS to families of 65 premature or full-term Turkish infants and repeated this testing for 17 families after one-two weeks to establish test-retest reliability. We calculated the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach alpha coefficient to assess reliability, and we evaluated test validity using the Spearman's correlation coefficient and correlations with the Bayley-III motor development score. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.846, and, for test-retest reliability, the ICC score was 0.830. The Turkish AHEMD-IS total score was moderately correlated with the Bayley-III fine motor development score (r = 0.469, p < 0.001), the Bayley-III gross motor development score (r = 0.533, p < 0.001), and the Bayley-III total motor development score (r = 0.526, p < 0.001). The Turkish version of the AHEMD-IS was found to be valid and reliable for children born prematurely or at full-term. The use of this questionnaire in Turkey will facilitate the creation of a home environment that will support motor development in children between 3-18 months of age.
