Visual Skills Appraisal (VSA)

The VSA is a screening tool developed to assist teachers and other educators to identify visual inefficiencies that may affect school performance. Six subtests assess pursuit, scanning, alignment, and locating movements; eye-hand coordination; and fixation unity. When visual deficits are noted, the student should be referred for a comprehensive visual examination. The VSA is a self-contained instrument that does not require the use of other equipment. The manual includes many visual skill training techniques that are keyed to each subtest.Richards, Regina G. is the author of 'Visual Skills Appraisal (VSA)', published 1984 under ISBN 9780878794553 and ISBN 0878794557.
