Whereas PAVE compared the reading rates of optical aid users to their sighted peers, Project Magnify seeks to determine the benefits of optical aids as compared to large print. In our study design, the students using large print alone will be the control group. Students in the experimental group will use an optical aid prescribed specifically for their use. The main outcome measures are the reading tests that are conducted before and after the twelve month reading treatments. The differences in the before and after reading rates are compared to determine statistical significance. Since the reading rates are on a normal numerical scale, parametric statistics can be used to compare the different reading rates. A Students T-test will allow us to compare the differences in reading rates for the two groups of visually impaired students. To conduct this study, twenty students currently served by the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind Division of Outreach Services (SCSDB) will be referred for inclusion in the study. The reading levels of all of the students will be assessed with a formal reading assessment. Students will then be randomly assigned to two groups. The large print readers in the control group will receive instruction as currently indicated on their Individual Education Plans (IEPs). Students in the second group will travel to the Feldberg Center in Charleston for a clinical low vision evaluation. Furthermore, these students will receive monthly instruction in the use of the low vision aids throughout the duration of the study. At the study's close, reading levels of the students in both groups will be assessed. The change in reading rates of the students will be compared to determine whether a significance difference exists between optical aids and large print.
