Purpose: We developed a proxy questionnaire for parents of children with Developmental Delay (DD) to provide comprehensive information for instructors about the child's functioning before participating in aquatic activities. This dedicated information will enable a high-quality treatment plan to promote the child's functioning in everyday life.

Methods: Based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) Coreset development and linking rules method, a set of questions was constructed in a preliminary process. A draft version was sent to instructors and parents in Israel. Seventy-five questionnaires from instructors and 25 from parents returned to the statistical analysis procedure. Reliability and face validity were analyzed by experts.

Results And Conclusions: The questionnaire showed high validity and reliability for its purposes and allowed self-completion by the parents.
