The rate of abandonment or non-use of acquired assistive technology resources is considered high, despite the efforts of professionals at the time of prescription. The literature has pointed out that the use of standardized assessment instruments based on conceptual models has contributed to the greater acceptability of these resources. The purpose of the study was to translate and culturally adapt the Survey of Technology Use (SOTU) instrument that makes up the conceptual model of Matching Person and Technology (MPT) for use in Brazil (SOTU Br). This is a methodological research. Participating in the study were specialist practitioners in dispensing assistive technology resources and people with disabilities who make use of assistive technology. The study was divided into five stages: 1) translation into Portuguese; 2) reconciled translation; 3) back-translation; 4) analysis of equivalence of items; 5) pre-test. The results indicated that the translated and adapted version of Brazilian Portuguese had a high degree of agreement and good acceptability. It is concluded that the Portuguese version of SOTU can be used by education and health professionals to assess the predisposition to use assistive technology and communication and information technology for adults and children with disabilities through their attitudes and experiences.
