OBJECTIVE: To verify the psychometric properties of the Cerebral Palsy: Quality of Life Questionnaire Children - child report (CPQol-Child) questionnaire, after it was translated and culturally adapted into Brazilian Portuguese. METHODS: After the translation and cultural adaptation of the tool into Brazilian Portuguese, the questionnaire was answered by 65 children with cerebral palsy, aged 9-12 years. The intraclass correlation coefficient and Cronbach's alpha were used to assess the reliability and internal consistency of the tool and its validity was analyzed through the association between CPQol-Child: self-report tool and Kidscreen-10 using Pearson's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: Internal consistency ranged from 0.6579 to 0.8861, the intraobserver reliability from 0.405 to 0.894, and the interobserver from 0.537 to 0.937. There was a weak correlation between the participation domain and physical health of CPQol-Child: self-report tool and Kidscreen-10. CONCLUSION: The analysis suggests that the tool has psychometric acceptability for the Brazilian population.
