Hearing evaluations have been performed in schools for decades by the Department of Health Services. SB 1456 will now provide a framework to bring vision screenings into schools. “When a child can’t see properly, they will of course struggle in school,” said Senator Allen, Chair of the Senate Committee on Education. “And young children don’t necessarily know they have vision issues.
