Abstract
TThis study integrates a broader investigation, whose purpose was to analyze the impact of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) within a school context, at an academic, behavioral and social level. The Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (VADTRS) has been translated and adapted into Portuguese European, using cross-cultural translation method of back-translation and decentering, proposed by Brislin (1970, 1976). A total of 76 teachers from the 1st cycle of the island of São Miguel (Azores) filled the EVDPP for 105 (n = 105) students diagnosed (or under evaluation) for diagnosis of ADHD, aged between 6 and 11 years old, 85.7% are male gender and 14.3% are female. The statistical method used to evaluate the internal consistency of the instrument was the Chronbach's alpha. The results demonstrate the internal validity of the scale, with Chronbach's alphas being between .80 and .94 in the different dimensions, corroborating other international studies. These preliminary data suggest that EVDPP can be an extremely useful tool for the multidisciplinary teams of Portuguese schools (in particular psychologists), in the signaling, diagnosis and characterization of the main problems of the PHDA in this context.
