Chapter 1
Introduction
The Barraga Instruction book contains tools to implement three different types of visual efficiency interventions:
- Accommodations, modifications, and supports applied in regularly occurring activities
- Instruction of visual skills in regularly occurring activities taught collaboratively
- Instruction of visual skills taught directly by a teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or orientation and mobility instructor (O&M) in vision-specific activities
To design each of the interventions, use information from the Barraga Visual Efficiency Evaluation (BVEE), functional vision evaluations/assessments, clinical low vision evaluations, eye medical reports, and orientation and mobility evaluations.
