Anne Arundel County students to undergo mandatory vision and hearing screenings
BALTIMORE -- The Anne Arundel County Department of Health is sending vision and hearing technicians along with school nurses to conduct mandatory vision and hearing screenings at the county's public schools.
The vision screening is a short examination that helps experts determine if the child has a vision problem. The hearing screening ahelps experts identify any hearing difficulties that a student may have.
The yearly screenings are for children enrolled in preschool, kindergarten, first grade and eighth grade, according to the Anne Arundel County Department of Health.
Additionally, students new to Anne Arundel County schools and special education students receiving speech therapy may be recommended for a vision and hearing screening, according to Anne Arundel County officials.
Also, the vision and hearing technicians will provide vision and hearing screenings to MSDE-approved private schools and special education programs to ensure appropriate children are screened, Anne Arundel County officials said.
Children who wear glasses should bring their glasses to school on the day of the screening, according to Anne Arundel County officials.
