Abstract:	Children with Cerebral palsy (CP) present movement and posture disorders. The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS), and Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) enhance the understanding of their performance. We verified inter-rater reliability and associations between the classification levels. Physical therapists classified 100 Brazilian children with CP (3–17 years) according to GMFCS, MACS, CFCS, EDACS, and VFCS. To evaluate inter-rater reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient-ICC) two independent examiners concurrently assessed a subset of 60 participants. According to Spearman’s correlation coefficients, there were associations between GMFCS/MACS (r = 0.81), GMFCS/CFCS (r = 0.70), MACS/CFCS (r = 0.73), GMFCS/VFCS (r = 0.61), MACS/VFCS (r = 0.61), CFCS/EDACS (r = 0.58), CFCS/VFCS (r = 0.50), and EDACS/VFCS (r = 0.45) (p < .05). The inter-rater reliability ranged from excellent (ICC = 0.93-0.99) to good (ICC = 0.89), p < .05. The classification systems are reliable, and the levels associated with each other in Brazilian children, especially the GMFCS, MACS, and CFCS.
