Purpose: To describe School Function Assessment (SFA) outcomes after 6 months of school-
based physical therapy and the effects of age and gross motor function on outcomes.
Methods: Within 28 states, 109 physical therapists and 296 of their students with disabilities,
ages 5 to 12 years, participated. After training, therapists completed 10 SFA scales on
students near the beginning and end of the school year. Results: Criterion scores for many
students remained stable (46%-59%) or improved (37%-51%) with the most students …

Purpose:
To describe School Function Assessment (SFA) outcomes after 6 months of school-based physical therapy and the effects of age and gross motor function on outcomes.
Methods:
Within 28 states, 109 physical therapists and 296 of their students with disabilities, ages 5 to 12 years, participated. After training, therapists completed 10 SFA scales on students near the beginning and end of the school year.
Results:
Criterion scores for many students remained stable (46%-59%) or improved (37%-51%) with the most students improving in Participation and Maintaining/Changing Positions. Students aged 5 to 7 years showed greater change than 8-to 12-year-olds on 5 scales. Students with higher gross motor function (Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I vs IV/V and II/III vs IV/V) showed greater change on 9 scales.
Conclusions:
Positive SFA change was recorded in students receiving school-based physical therapy; however, the SFA is less sensitive for older students and those with lower functional movement.
