20/200

Frankie went for a low vision evaluation today at the Perkins low vision clinic. They used the Lea pictures at a distance and up close, and his acuity came out to 20/200. I am still a little shocked. I knew when he is usually tested with the teller cards, the acuity of 20/60 was better than he really was, but now I know that he is actually legally blind. So I am still digesting it and trying to get a handle on it.
It may help us as we navigate the IEP process, getting him into the integrated preschool. I would think a child who is legally blind should get an IEP and services.
