What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the braille-format edition of the practitioner's guidebook for the Functional Vision and Learning Media Assessment (FVLMA) Kit, a structured assessment tool used by teachers of students with visual impairments (TVIs) and other vision professionals to evaluate how a student uses their functional vision and determine the most appropriate learning media (print, braille, tactile graphics, etc.). The guidebook provides the administration and scoring instructions that walk an assessor through the FVLMA protocol — in braille, so a practitioner who is blind or has low vision can use it independently. This is an optional add-on component for the full FVLMA Kit (sold separately); it does not stand alone as an assessment without the rest of the kit. Professionals ordering this should confirm they already have or are ordering the core FVLMA Kit, as the guidebook is only useful in that context.
