The average improvement across the 'Life Functioning' domain in SFY 2019 was 36%, which decreased to 33% in SFY 2020, so it is interesting that this item within the domain shows the opposite trend. This is likely because the time two measurement would have occurred just after the global pandemic response began, sending students to do school from home, which could have resolve school-behavior-related triggers for some youth.
