RELEVANCE OF ASSESSMENT TO PARENTS

          Assessment is a critical aspect of planning an educational program for a child. Yet most parents of children with visual impairments will find this process to be one of the most difficult and stressful ones that they encounter. Assessment is something that occurs regularly, and will often form a basis for long-term decisions about their child. It is important that parents develop their own skills in understanding the process and providing relevant information to the teachers who is conducting assessment.

          It is difficult for parents to see the advantages of formalized assessment in addition to that conducted in the classroom. When the need for additional assessments is discussed, parents often are not sure how they feel about the issue. The assessments are sometimes seen as a way to add undesired additional disabilities and part of a discriminatory process that further increases the isolation of their child. It is important that teams make a realistic appraisal of the advantages of the assessment process.

          The final reason for assessment, and the one most often feared by a parent, is an assessment requested to explore the possibility of an additional disability. This is difficult for parents especially if that additional disability may be significantly impacting learning in a number of areas. Parents need information about assessment and decision-making processes to be communicated effectively to them in ways that they understand.
