The aim of this study was to design a questionnaire for learning disability (parent-child assessment) in preschool students. The Learning Disability Questionnaire consists of two parts: perception (visual and auditory). The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by psychology professors and then it was performed on a sample of 294 preschool students. The questions were analyzed by appropriate statistical methods and the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were determined. According to the calculations, the internal consistency coefficient in the auditory perception factor is 0.83, and the visual is 0.86. An independent t-test was used to evaluate the differential validity. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the scores of deficient and normal students. We used the learning disability test to assess concurrent validity. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the two variables of the Learning Disability Questionnaire (Parent Assessment of Preschool Child) and the Special Learning Disability Test for Children. Depending on the obtained reliability and validity, this test can be used as a tool to assess and detect early learning disabilities of preschool students.
