Overview
The Barraga Visual Evaluation Program (BVEP) consists of four books. Three of the books share a common binding:
Book 1: BVEP Guidebook
Book 2: BVEP Evaluation
Book 4: BVEP Instruction
This book, Book 3: BVEP Perceptual Skills Evaluation (PSE), is a tool designed to help you complete the Intervention Guide (IG) of the Barraga Visual Efficiency Program (BVEP). The IG is in Book 2.
Prior to using the PSE tool:
- Complete the Activity Inventory (located in Book 2) by interviewing parents and teachers.
- List the student’s regularly occurring activities that are in high need of instruction (priority activities) in column 1 of the IG.
- List the specific media or objects affected by poor visual efficiency during each priority activity in column 2 of the IG.
- Review Appendix A: Continuum of Visual Development (Book 1) and the Developmental Sequences Chart (DSC) (Book 2) to identify related visual developmental sequences skills. Write the visual behaviors in column 3 of the IG with the identifier “V” (e.g., V: simple/complex, V: high contrast/ low contrast). This information will help you understand and conduct the Perceptual Skills Evaluation.
