Early screening is essential to address learning and social challenges. The Teacher’s Evaluation of Auditory Performance (TEAP) is a validated teacher-based APD screening tool. This study translated TEAP into Persian (P-TEAP), evaluated its psychometric properties, and assessed correlations with the Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB) and Bamford-Kowal-Bench (BKB) sentence test. Methods: The TEAP was translated trough the International Quality of Life Assessment method. Face and content validity were assessed. Teachers completed both the P-TEAP and the SAB, while parents completed the parent version of SAB, for 243 children aged 7–13 years including 93 males, who underwent hearing screening and BKB testing. Results: All items were clear and relevant (CVR=0.92, CVI=1). Cronbach’s α was 0.905 for the total scale. Test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC=0.99). Convergent validity was supported by correlations with SAB-T (r=0.901), SAB-P (r=0.716), BKB right ear (r=-0.614), and BKB left ear (r=-0.590). ROC analysis identified a cut-off score of 6 with 95.0% sensitivity and 68.3% specificity using BKB as reference, and a cut-off of 6 with 98.5% sensitivity and 92.1% specificity using SAB-T as reference. Conclusion: The P-TEAP is a valid and reliable tool for screening APD in Persian-speaking children. Its robust psychometric properties and correlations with SAB and BKB support its use in research and clinical settings. https://avr.tums.ac.ir/index.php/avr/article/view/1511
