DuPage County Vision & Hearing Screening
Early identification of potential vision and hearing problems is crucial to academic success. The Illinois Child Vision and Hearing Test Act (410 ILCS 205), mandates vision and hearing screening programs for preschool and school age children.
- Hearing screening is mandated to be offered for students in grades PK, K, 1, 2 and 3.
- Vision screening is mandated to be offered for students in grades PK, K, 2 and 8.
- Hearing and vision screenings are also conducted for transfer students and students who receive special education annually.
All parents have the option to opt out of screening. Hearing & Vision Screening is taking place at Scott School on Wednesday, October 4th. If you do not want your student screened, please notify the health office at your student’s school at 630-420-6478.
