Hearing and Vision Screening
COMMUNITY WELLNESS & SAFETY will provide:
- Initial screening of scheduled students, re-screening when indicated of students who did not pass initial screening. (ie, congestion/allergies) and screening of any absentees.
- Parent contact and referral to community resources for students who did not pass screenings. This includes phone and written contact. Parents of students who are uninsured and unable to afford follow up with specialist, will be assisted in obtaining free or reduced cost services for follow up.
- Final Report. Upon completion of screenings, the school will receive a final report narration of screening results of students who were referred for follow up with a specialist and the communication with the parent/guardian. The school in turn forwards this report to each teacher so they are aware of their student’s specific results and follow up.
- State Report. The required report will be completed and submitted to DHS. A copy of the report will be submitted to the school for their records. The report includes the two-month follow up of each child after referral.
