Functional Vision Evaluation and Learning Media Assessment

All students who are classified as visually impaired receive assessments in their use of functional vision and a determination of their best approach to media, which is a learning media assessment. These documents will assist you in understanding the implications of your student’s vision loss and how to accommodate that loss in your classroom. Your student’s TVI can review these documents with you and discuss applications for materials and instructional routines, etc. in your classroom.
