Hearing and vision screenings are a requirement for children newly enrolled in school and those entering kindergarten. Hearing loss can have an effect on a child’s development, including; vocabulary, speech, sentence structure, and social functioning. If hearing loss is identified early, family-centered interventions are critical to improving language and cognitive development. Early detection of hearing loss or vision problems can have a positive impact on a child’s learning experience. Make sure your child has a vision and hearing screen on record before they start school. The St. Clair County Health Department offers free hearing and vision screenings to county residents. To schedule an appointment call (810) 987-5300.
