Here’s what our field testers had to say:

“I think it is helpful to have a resource like the BVEP that I can check to be sure I have considered all the needs of my students. Often times, TVIs have a very busy caseload and some things can be forgotten when you are rushing from school to school, meeting to meeting.”

“I have always valued Barraga products. I think this program is a comprehensive tool for Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments that can be used as a guide for assessment and instruction of visual efficiency skills, which is one component of the Expanded Core Curriculum.”
