In Brazil, there is a lack of instruments to assess the development of children with visual impairments. Accordingly, this study aimed to describe the adaptation procedure of the Operationalized Portage Inventory for children with low vision. For children between 0 to 6 years of age, the OPI consists of 580 items distributed in 6 different areas of development. Three psychologists, experts in children's development, visual impairment, and OPI operationalizing, respectively, took part in adapting the OPI to the Brazilian context. In order to evaluate their agreement on the OPI items, a minimum agreement index of 90% was considered. In total, 43.1% (248 items) of the 580 items were adapted. The domains exhibiting the highest and lowest adaptation requirements were Cognition (65.7%, 71 items) and Self-care (15.2%, 16 items), respectively. Changes proposed by the experts concerned one or more elements of each item, such as material, condition, criterium, and/or response.

Keywords : adaptation; operationalized portage inventory; visual impairment.
