Professional setup required This is an assessment tool, not something a reader uses on their own. Choosing a print size for someone with low vision means judging how they see and read, so a trained vision professional should apply the formula and interpret the results. A wrong size can waste money on materials that don't help.

What it is

Summary

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

The Decision-Making Guide: A Guide to Print Size Selection gives you a straightforward formula for choosing the right print size for a person with low vision. It is a printed guide for the person doing the evaluating, not a tool the reader uses. It helps take some of the guesswork out of picking large print or enlarged materials.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Nothing to set up. It is a printed guide, so you read it and apply the formula.
  • With a guide
    1. Read through the guide's instructions for applying the formula to a person's visual needs.
    2. Apply the formula during a reading evaluation and record the print size it suggests.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI), low vision therapist, or other vision professional should run the evaluation and interpret the result. Plan time for the evaluation itself, plus follow-up to confirm the chosen print size works in daily reading.
