Conducting FVAs on students with visual impairments is a standard responsibility of TVIs. However, because most TVIs work with school-aged students, completing FVAs for very young children is a less common experience. If you are an experienced TVI, you likely learned how to conduct FVAs based on traditional textbook instruction during your preparation program. This video training was developed in response to the recognition that much of that instruction is outdated and could benefit from modernization. The video includes examples of TVIs conducting FVAs with young children who have typical vison development, ocular visual impairments, cerebral visual impairment (CVI).
