Abstract
Aims: In this study, it was aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Occupational Performance Questionairre (OPQ) in individuals aged 3-6 with Autism Spectrum Disorder. 
 Matherial and Methods: After the questionairre was translated into Turkish, it was applied to 51 parents with a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder aged 3-6 years. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was used to determine reliability. Correlation analysis with identical forms was used to establish the construct validity. In this context, correlation status of Occupational Performance Questionnaire with Sensory Profile Questionairre and Parental Stress Index- Short Form were evaluated. 
 Results: The Cronbach Alpha value for the Occupational Performance Questionairre was found to be highly reliable as “0.93”. In the correlation analysis between the main sections and sub-sections of the Occupational Performance Questionairre and identical forms; significant correlation were found with all of the main sections, and sub-sections were found to have significant relationships other than “sleep, peer and group interaction, individual and group play” sections. 
 Conclusion: The Occupational Performance Questionairre is valid and reliable for Turkish children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder aged 3-6.
