Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder that occurs as a result of injury to the Central Nervous System (CNS) that can occur in the prenatal, peri-natal and post-natal periods. The research aims to classify motor function according to levels of functionality in students with cerebral palsy. As a research instrument, the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used, with the purpose of identifying the motor functionality of children and adolescents, determining the level that represents the current abilities and functional limitations of each individual. The sample consists of 10 children and adolescents of both sexes, with heterogeneous characteristics of the clinical picture diagnosed with CP. The results show that 40% of students had motor function classified at level 2, about 30% were classified at level 3 and another 30% at level 5. Therefore, most students are independent in their functionality, in view of the level for each age, but who at some point may need help from someone else. While others, in addition to needing help from someone else, also make use of assistive technology, they are therefore totally dependent. In this way, we conclude that the GMFCS is a good indicator of functionality, since from the established levels it is directed to choices of assessments, planning of motor activities and interventions.
