6. Why is hearing and vision screening for children in the school setting necessary?
Your child’s hearing and vision impacts their success in school. An undiagnosed hearing problem may impact your child’s ability to pay attention or follow directions. Vision and hearing issues can cause learning difficulties, particularly for your child, who cannot determine if they are not seeing or hearing what they should.
