Hearing & Vision Screening

Good vision and hearing are crucial for academic success. ESNS believes that early identification and intervention for vision deficits and hearing loss are the key to helping these children and preventing long term academic problems. We are developing low cost screening programs for non-public schools utilizing parent volunteers.
