The FVA/LMA schedule for multiple disabilities and visual impairment is every 2 years.

• A. 1 year
• B. 3 years
• C. 4 years
• D. 2 years

Answer: (D)

Assessments of how a student uses vision in everyday learning and which learning media best supports access to the curriculum are updated on a two-year cycle. The Functional Vision Assessment looks at how vision supports or limits real classroom tasks, while the Learning Media Assessment identifies the most effective ways to access information—whether through print, large print, braille, audio, or another modality. Because needs can change as a student grows and as abilities with multiple disabilities evolve, refreshing these assessments every two years helps keep IEP goals and instructional plans aligned with current functioning. A one-year interval would be unnecessarily burdensome, while three or four years could miss important changes that require adjustments in supports. So, the standard schedule is every two years.
