For my sped highschool students, would a HOTV or LEA vision chart be better? I'm reading that LEA is preferred for younger children, but haven't found anything on older/highschool students. Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check your state guidelines. I was just about to say check your state's guidance and your district policy. This may be a best practice thing where we are behind the times.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nov 5 by iamthewalrus 2 Posts; 75 Profile Views Thank you all for your helpful responses! Interesting to hear what others have been using and what's been working. Seems like it probably comes down to what my district policy says. Some resources I've come across regarding vision screenings that mostly apply to CA: https://www.cde.ca.gov/ls/he/hn/documents/visionreport.pdf--"for students with special needs who are unable to use the optotype test with letters, use other appropriate optotype tests. - Illiterate “E” Charts - Blackbird - HOTV with crowding bars - Lea symbols" https://www.csno.org/uploads/1/7/2/4/17248852/csno_vision_faqs_03-2019.pdf https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1h3dlqrw6hc9fpe/AADujXv0_w-yWrFhHgBBuWv1a/Screening Programs?dl=0&preview=Vision+Screening+Summary.pdf&subfolder_nav_tracking=1 https://higherlogicdownload.s3.amazonaws.com/NASN/3870c72d-fff9-4ed7-833f-215de278d256/UploadedImages/PDFs/Practice Topic Resources/vision_screening_table.pdf 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
