Spring 2021: Testing and Adaptations for Color Vision Deficiencies in Individuals with Visual Impairment

Presented by: Dorinda Rife

Date: 05/07/2021

Do you test for color deficiencies in your students? How do you report results? How do you make adaptations and modifications based on your test results? In this workshop we will look at available color deficiency screening and assessment tools and how to use them. We will also discuss modifications to the student’s school materials and environment and how they work.
