What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a professional reference book — available in print or EPUB — focused on how visual impairment affects learning assessment, and how multidisciplinary teams can approach evaluation more accurately for students who are blind or visually impaired, including those with additional disabilities. It's written for TVIs (teachers of the visually impaired), orientation and mobility specialists, school psychologists, and other school-based professionals who collaborate on IEP teams. The content addresses how standard assessment tools often underperform or misrepresent students with vision loss, and guides teams toward adapted, more valid approaches. This is a professional resource, not a direct-use AT device — it won't do anything for a student on its own, but it can meaningfully change how a team evaluates and plans for one. The EPUB version requires a separate EPUB reader app, and the print edition is made to order, so expect two to three weeks from order to delivery.
