On March 15, 2012, compliance with the 2010 Standards was required for new construction and alterations under Titles II and III.

The American Printing House for the Blind (APH) believes guidelines for print documents should be brought to a standard of optimal usability for persons with low vision. The standards should be based on fundamental principles gleaned from research that originated from the study of the impact of print characteristics on readers of print products. This research also includes existing industry standards, where they apply.http://www.brailleauthority.org/ueb.html

One of the most important prerequisites in planning a student's educational program is assessing the student's strengths and weaknesses. Assessment for students with low vision includes comprehensive evaluations by members of the student's multidisciplinary team. Areas of assessment summarized in the following paragraphs include: functional vision assessment, expanded core curriculum assessments, learning media assessments, clinical low vision evaluations, and ophthalmologic and optometric evaluations. These tests are specific to vision related fields. State tests and standards of learning for students with low vision are not addressed in this fact sheet.

Accommodations facilitate how the test is administered and responded to. Appropriate accommodations reduce error in test scores due to poor access. They do not change or replace the skills that the test is designed to measure. Each state develops its own set of acceptable accommodations. By writing this article, I hope I can help you navigate the rapidly changing world of testing.
Students who are visually impaired need to prepare for and arrange test-taking accommodations as they gather information about the tests they need to take. If your child is taking the SAT or ACT tests, you and he or she need to consult his or her guidance counselor and teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) about arranging, well in advance, for special accommodations available to students with disabilities.
