The MABC-2 checklist or SFA is used in kids with what diagnosis?

• A. Autism
• B. Cerebral palsy
• C. DCD
• D. ADHD

Answer: (C)

These tools focus on motor coordination and how a child performs daily activities in a school setting. The MABC-2 assesses gross and fine motor skills to identify motor coordination difficulties, while the School Function Assessment looks at how those skills affect participation and performance in classroom tasks. Developmental Coordination Disorder is defined by motor coordination substantially below age expectations, impacting daily activities and school tasks, which is precisely what these measures are designed to detect and guide in terms of intervention. They’re not primarily used as diagnostic tools for autism or ADHD, and although cerebral palsy involves motor issues, other CP-specific assessments are usually used; the combination of MABC-2 and SFA best aligns with DCD.
