[AERNet] Functional Vision Assessment kits

[Melinda Schink]

I'm not sure what you are currently using, but APH has several different FVA kits available- many through Federal Quota Funds. I have used the DAP, the Literary Media Assessment, and the ISAVE. I tend to suppliment with my own kit, but I suppose you don't have to. I have found the DAP to be better at assessing higher-functioning students, and the ISAVE for the Multiply Impaired student. Just my $.02.

  Hi,

Can anyone recommend a prepared kit of Functional Vision Assessment 
tools that are available to purchase? Our agency is upgrading our 
materials to assess school age students in the area. We have acquired 
some of these materials individually, but would like to acquire many 
of them from one direct source.

Thanks so much,
