Professional setup required This kit is made for conducting a professional assessment. Giving the activities and reading the results takes training in vision and learning media. Used wrongly, it could lead to poor decisions about which materials a person gets, so a trained professional needs to run it.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

NewT is a kit of tools and activities that a professional uses when carrying out a Functional Vision and Learning Media Assessment (FVLMA). That assessment looks at how a person uses their vision and which learning materials and formats work best for them. It is built for the specialists who run the assessment, such as teachers of students with visual impairments, not for families to use on their own. The bowls in the kit may come in different colors, so don't count on a specific color.
