Vision and Hearing Screening  

During the childhood years it is important to detect any vision or hearing problems.  This is because learning is mostly accomplished through the senses of vision and hearing.  School screenings help to identify possible vision or hearing barriers that may impair a child’s ability to learn.  Early identification and treatment can prevent many of the problems that result from impaired hearing or vision.  School screenings are one of the most practical approaches to identifying children who may be in need of professional services.

St. Charles students will complete vision and hearing screening during Early Childhood Screening and Grades 1, 3, and 5.  Other students can be screened by parent request.  Please contact the Health Office with questions regarding screening.
