ACVREP Domain 3: O&M Assessment ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
Components of an O&M assessment Hearing assessment,
vision assessment,
motor assessment,
olfactory assessment,
interviews,
medical record review,
background information,
mobility skills,
conceptual understanding
components of an O&M assessment for adults and older -less comprehensive & less formal,
children -observation,
-request permission before contacting medical providers (HIPPA) to gain trust
Components of an O&M assessment for preschoolers -Sensori-motor assessment,
-interviews,
-medical record review;
-Dynamic assessment as interacting during play,
-rapport building,
-multiple observations of day-to-day functioning, --direct sessions should be
short interactions;
, Components of an O&M assessment for infants and -Rapport building via structured & unstructured means;
toddlers -Info from others as primary source;
-observation of day-to-day functioning;
-inference of O&M skills via observation;
-testing session length determined by family routine;
-request for info thru on-the-fly unstructured activity,
-content centers around family needs not typical of O&M;
-object permanence,
-clarity of non-verbal communication, etc.
-Tools & checklists: family describes activities,
-environmental assessment
Identify the components of a functional vision assessment • Functional visual acuity:
Static, Dynamic, & Preferred
• Functional visual fields:
Static, Dynamic, & Preferred
• Color, contrast perception and preferences
• Use of visual skills:
Localization/ targeting, Visual tracing, Scanning, Tracking
• Use of visual aids for mobility Optical (for example, monocular telescope,
binoculars) Nonoptical (for example, use of tints for glare control)
• Vision-related movement and travel problems:
lighting conditions, glare, detecting changes in terrain or drop-offs, obstacle
detection and avoidance street crossings— for example, unable to see pedestrian
Walk light maintaining orientation— for example, establishing visual landmarks
Examples of ways to assess near and distance vision -Static: have client fixate on distant object & describe what is seen in periphery;
-Preferred field: client walks & tells what is seen to determine regular pattern of
viewing (primarily left, top, etc.);
-Constriction/early warning: static positioned client fixated on distant object while
O&M walks parallel to line of sight, client announces recognition of movement
(both sides)
O&M Assessment domains - relevant background information
• mobility skills proficiency
• orientation skill application
• conceptual understanding
• visual functioning
• auditory functioning
