Hearing and Vision Screening

• Initial screening of scheduled students and re-screening, if necessary.
• Parent contact and referral to community resources for students who did not pass screenings. This includes phone and/or 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 Narrative 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.
• Required State Report. The required report will be completed and submitted to Arizona DHS. A copy of the report will be submitted to the school for their records. The Hearing report includes the two-month follow up of each child after referral.
