What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Review the braille materials ahead of time so you know the layout before testing a student.
  • With a guide
    Read the inventory's administration directions before your first session.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments or a reading specialist should give the assessment and interpret the results. Plan on some prep time before the first administration.
