Introduction. The Tucson Children`s Assessment on Sleep Apnea Study (TuCASA) was developed by Goodwin in Tucson-USA, 2003, with 13 questions that assess the symptoms of Sleep Disordered Breathing. Questionnaires to assess sleep in pediatric patients are scarce and needed in Portuguese, since this disease is very prevalent and is associated with significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the questionnaire TuCASA into Brazilian Portuguese. Method. The translation by two independent professionals, the synthesis of translations, the back translation with the Review Committee were made. The probe technique was performed in 30 children 4-11 years (17 girls) accompanied by a parent and/or guardian. The instructions of the scale and items were adapted, taking into account the semantic, conceptual, experiential, and cultural equivalences. Results. The probe technique was completely understood by all participants. Visual communication has been adapted to the preference and habits of the population, resulting in a questionnaire with clear instructions and easy to complete. Conclusion. The questionnaire showed a good understanding of the studied population. Expressions needed to be adapted to our culture and the original model was modified to a format more objective and easy to use.
