- Abstract
This manuscript documents the need for, pilot testing, and validation of the National Reading Media Assessment (NRMA). The NRMA is an assessment of the visual reading efficiency of youth ages Pre-K through 12th grade who are visually impaired. The tool is designed to measure the extent to which large print materials are sufficient to complete academic tasks, whether Braille should be introduced, or whether the youth should be given primary instruction in Braille. Findings support the efficacy of this tool in making the decision to recommend print, Braille, or dual media for prereading youth and those in kindergarten through 12th grade.
