Children may use braille, large print, print with the use of optical devices, regular print, tactile symbols, a calendar system, sign language, and/or recorded materials to communicate.

You’re driving down the road and your car starts to backfire and is driving “rough” when the check engine light comes on. A bit nervous you pull into the nearest garage to report the symptoms and seek help. Though the mechanic may have some strong feelings about what the problem is, after all he has worked on hundreds of cars and seen similar scena...
Another important point to keep in mind is that the mechanic has a toolbox and he can look inside and pick the right tool for the job. The tools he uses to change the oxygen sensor are different tools from those used to change the air filter, though there might be some overlap. Like a mechanic, your child needs to have a literacy toolbox. In this t...
The purpose of the functional vision assessment (FVA) is two-fold. The first is to gather information about how a child who has usable vision sees the world. The second is to make recommendations that will allow the child to use the vision he has more efficiently throughout his day. If your child falls into the 90% of children with some usable visi...
The learning media assessment (LMA) goes hand-in-hand with the functional vision assessment (FVA). There are three components to the LMA. The first is to determine how your child accesses information. Does she do this primarily through use of her vision, her touch (called tactual) or listening (called auditory) channels. The second is to find out h...
For some children the literacy medium decision – print or braille – is easy to determine, but for others there is a question as to which is “better” for the child to learn or if the two should be learned “together.” There are no hard and fast rules for making these determinations. The educational team should examine results of the functional vision...

They took their tests by having them read to them and giving their answers orally. Though we see less of this happening today, it is still possible that your child might ...
Though children may be in the same grade in school their academic performance may vary considerably from that of classmates. Not every child excels academically whether they have a disability or not. You may wonder if your daughter isn’t keeping up with classmates because of her visual impairment or if there are other reasons for this lag. If you h...
There are a variety of methods that students with visual impairments use to read. Often a single student will use different strategies in particular settings or for specific materials or content. Just as an adult may use a computer for work, a smartphone for email, a pen or pencil for lists, and a book for leisure, individuals with visual impairments typically also use a range of devices and ...
A low-vision device, such as a telescope, to read the material on the board or watch a classroom demonstration. They can also move closer to the material to see better. The classroom teacher can provide your child with a copy of the material on the board. This could be a photocopied sheet of paper or one the teacher or teaching assistant writes ...

Nov 17, 2014 · This is false. If a student can comfortably read legal large print (14-18 point) at 12-14 inches for a sustained period, large print may be a viable option. The NRMA is no more braille-biased than traditional assessments are print-biased. The NRMA measures average visual functioning under standard educational conditions without respect to bias ...
