    Introduction: The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) has defined disability as a term that includes impairments, activity limitations and restrictions. Objective: To establish the facial validity of the instruments Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) for disabled children between 5 and13 years old. Materials and methods: a study was carried out on the assesment of diagnostic tests, as well as the cultural adaptation of the instruments using 6 mothers of children without disabilities (CD) as a reference. At the same time, the validity was assessed by 19 mothers of boys and girls in CD who were assessed through an interview done by two last year physiotherapy students. Results: The LIFE-H for age 5-13 years old, in order to assess social participation were officially translated, adapted to local language with comprehensible, clear, and easy to answer questions. We obtained an instrument with facial validity and relevant cultural adaptability to the context. We found confusing words or questions in education and nutrition categories in the LIFE-H for 5-13 years old that were modified. Conclusion: We obtained a useful tool to measure social participation from the habits of children with disabilities, which provides a sound basis for improving interventions in rehabilitation. It is suggested to continue the evaluating the reliability of this instrument.
