ABSTRACT

The aim of this article was to adapt and validate a specific instrument to measure the attitudes of Early Childhood Education students towards different disabilities, assessing the three components of attitudes. Firstly, a direct translation of the desired instruments was carried out and, after the modifications suggested by the experts, a total of 162 participants were tested and, using these data, the validity and reliability of the instrument was calculated. The results have indicated that we have a tool with sufficient validity and reliability to be able to analyse the attitudes towards disability of Early Childhood Education students.
