Multiple Choice

A TVI has _____ days to complete an FVA/LMA once parental approval is given.

Sixty days from the moment parental approval is received to complete the evaluation is the standard window. This timeframe ensures the team gathers enough, timely information to determine eligibility and plan supports in the IEP. A Functional Vision Assessment looks at how a student uses vision in real tasks, while a Learning Media Assessment identifies the best way for the student to access learning—such as preferred print size, Braille, or assistive technologies. Having a sixty-day deadline keeps the process efficient so services can begin without undue delay. Shorter windows like thirty or forty-five days wouldn’t provide enough time for thorough assessment and analysis, while ninety days would unnecessarily slow up the planning process.
