Identifying vision and hearing deficiencies at an early age will lessen the likelihood these deficiencies will turn into learning disorders and behavioral problems and serves as the goal for this program. Vision and hearing conservation education is provided to parents, school staff and the community.
Certified hearing and vision screening technicians provide screening for preschool through school age children for vision and hearing deficiencies. In the event that deficiencies in either area are detected, the technicians follow up with families to make sure the necessary diagnostic testing is accessible and provided. Staff link uninsured and under insured families with community resources where the child can receive follow up examinations if necessary.
This service is available to any child attending DuPage schools or any child who is a DuPage resident.
