Assessing for AEM

A Functional Vision Assessment (FVA) assists educators in determining, among other things, what adaptations, modifications, and technology or other supports a student with visual impairment will need to participate in school.

A Learning Media Assessment (LMA) should be conducted following a FVA to help determine the best instructional medium/media for a given student, such as braille, print, auditory, tactile or some combination. The LMA considers a student's learning style, or the way in which he or she uses vision, touch, hearing, and other senses, either singularly or in combination, to gain access to information.

The Protocol for Accommodations in Reading (PAR) and Universal Protocol for Accommodations in Reading (uPar) help educators determine if a student will benefit from having text read aloud, and if so, whether a human reader or synthesized speech is best. Learn more at http://donjohnston.com/par/
