We offer a variety of assessment tools to use with students of all ages, in order to best gauge student needs and help inform students’ educational plans.

NEW! Barraga Visual Efficiency Program
While not considered an academic diagnostic assessment, The Barraga Visual Efficiency Program (BVEP) evaluates the visual efficiency of, and provides available methods of instruction for, students with low vision who have ocular impairments and who have achieved cognitive developmental skills at or beyond the 3-year-old level. Teachers can also use the Barraga website to record their assessments and evaluations.
