What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 17, 2026
This is a professional reference book covering how to assess functional vision and design intervention services based on evaluation findings — written for teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs), orientation and mobility specialists, and low vision clinicians. Functional vision evaluation is a specialized skill that determines how a person actually uses whatever remaining sight they have in real-world tasks, which is distinct from clinical acuity testing. The book walks through a systematic framework for conducting these assessments and translating results into practical service plans. This is a textbook-level resource, not a consumer product — it's most useful as a study reference or clinical guide for practitioners entering or working in the vision rehabilitation field. At roughly $72 for a print edition made to order, it's reasonably priced for professional reference material, but expect a 2–3 week wait from APH given the made-to-order production.
