Studies about the experiences of students with disabilities in higher education suggest that social and academic support, given by their partners, is an important factor related to their full inclusion. The present study has the objective of evaluating the content validity of a scale designed to measure the social and academic support given to students with physical and sensory disabilities by their partners, using the Theory of Planned Behaviors as a theoretical framework.

Within a mixed design, the content of the scale was validated by a group of ten judges from five higher education institutions in Mexico. The results show a positive evaluation of the scale, although some modifications were necessary to improve its relevancy. As a conclusion, interpretations derived from the survey are supported by evidence of content validity, which justifies its use in further research.

Palabras llave : Disability; inclusive education; measurement tools; test validity; student attitudes.
