The severity rating scales are optional tools that support consistency in determining service delivery times for students who are blind or low vision. Use the scales to establish how often a particular service should be delivered to a student.
Results are not intended to determine eligibility for services and are not shared with the Michigan Department of Education Resource for Blind/Low Vision. Decisions regarding eligibility and services are made by the individualized family service plan (IFSP) team or the individualized education program (IEP) team.
