Parent of a Child with Albinism

I’ve mentioned a lot of different types of assessments in my last few posts.  Knowing what they are and how they differ can be really confusing.  Also, I tend to use the words “evaluation” “assessment” and “examination” interchangeably, which probably adds to the confusion.   Here are some links to information that define them and provide a much better explanation than I could. 

Overview of Assessments

Functional Vision Assessment

Low Vision Evaluation &  Low Vision Examination

Learning Media Assessment

This next assessment is one that I have only recently heard about.  It seems to be similar to a Low Vision Evaluation, but completed by an education professional rather than in a clinical setting.
