Why should children be screened?
All children must have a vision and hearing screening done before entering kindergarten.
Screening can help your child succeed in school. An undiagnosed vision and/or hearing problem can interfere with your child’s development.
St. Clair County Health Department under the direction of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is committed to providing children with vision and hearing screenings to ensure they have the skills necessary to succeed in school and learning.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent temporary difficulties from becoming permanent problems.
