Description of CE Program/Activity
 Join us as we explore practical approaches to: Unlocking Potential of Clinical Low Vision Evaluations -- This presentation will highlight the importance of clinical low vision evaluations in identifying students' unique needs, improving access to specialized tools and resources, and ensuring equitable educational opportunities. These evaluations provide a comprehensive assessment of a student's vision, identifying the functional limitations and strengths that affect their ability to engage with academic content. They guide instructional adaptations suggested by TVIs, but also facilitate collaboration among teachers, vision specialists, and families, fostering a holistic approach to student development. We will also discuss how integrating low vision evaluations into educational programs can significantly enhance the quality of services provided by intermediate units in Pennsylvania.
