Barraga Visual Efficiency Program

Book 1: BVEP Guidebook

The Guidebook establishes the goal and rationale for the program, defines terms, clarifies issues, and provides the empirical basis for the intervention.

Book 2: BVEP Evaluation

The Barraga Visual Efficiency Evaluation (BVEE) is a step-by-step process designed to identify needs and determine appropriate instructional methods in activities that occur regularly. The BVEE includes the Activity Inventory (AI), the Intervention Guide (IG) and three reference charts: Visual Skills Chart, Perceptual Skills Chart, and Developmental Sequences Chart. All guides and charts are available online. Read the BVEP Evaluation prior to conducting an evaluation with the Perceptual Skills Evaluation.
