Health and Wellness Update
September 2020
THANK YOU
Please let me know how I can with any questions or concerns you might have. I may not have the answer in the moment, but I can help you find it as quickly as possible. I am also thinking it would be beneficial to develop a shared google folder between all of you where we could share documents, best practices and information so I am working on that as well. Any thoughts and suggestions are always welcome!
Hearing, Vision and Spinal Screening Information Reminder
The Vision and Hearing Screening Basic workshops will be provided online beginning in September, until we can conduct in-person certification. Those who take the online basic workshops will receive provisional certification through December 31, 2021. These participants will not be required to do the practicum portion of the training at this time. However, they will be required to sign up for an in-person recertification class and will have the practicum at that time before their provisional certification expires.
I have scheduled basic training classes that will start the week of September 1, 2020.
Again, each person who receives a provisional certification must take the recertification workshop in person before the end of 2021.
Participants will register on Eventbrite and the links to the schedule are below. Please share the links with anyone who needs to be certified or recertified for vision and hearing screening.
