Session Detail





Low Vision Conference 2025
Hosted on May 16, 2025 at the Region 13 Education Service Center



Learning and Literacy Media Decisions for Students with Low Vision

The Learning/Literacy Media Assessment (LMA) is a critical document in a student’s educational program. This conference will focus on using LMA data to determine and implement the use of MultiMedia (e.g., print, braille, audio) for a student with low vision who may or may not use print. These decisions affect students’ performance in home, school, and community. The focus will be on applying LMA data, rather than instructions on how to write the LMA. The conference is open to professionals in the field of visual impairment and families.

Come join us on Friday, May 16th at the Region 13 Service Center at 5701 Springdale Rd. in Austin.

Registration Fees:
• Professionals & Out of State Professionals - $60.00
• Paraprofessionals & University Students - $25.00
• Family Members - $25.00

Participants will:
1. Identify essential components of the LMA.
2. Provide examples of collaborating with the educational team and implementing.
recommendations from the LMA into a student’s academic program.
3. Describe factors that influenced adults who are multi-media users in selecting media use for a range of tasks.
