SFA is used to measure a student's performance of functional tasks that support participation in the academic and social aspects of an elementary school program (grades K-6). Designed to facilitate collaborative program planning for students with a variety of disabling conditions. The instrument is a judgement-based (questionnaire) assessment that is completed by one or more school professionals who have observed a student's typical performance on the tasks and activities being assessed. SFA has three parts: Participation (in the classroom, playground, transportation, bathroom, transitions, mealtime); Task Supports (physical tasks and cognitive/behavioral tasks assistance and adaptations); and Activity Performance (21 scales--each includes a comprehensive set of activities that share a common functional demand; such as using school materials, interacting with others, following school rules, etc). Administration time: individual scales can be completed in 5-10 minutes. Contents: user's manual, rating scale guide, and record forms.
