Hearing and vision play a pivotal role in a student’s growth and learning; problems often go unnoticed until issues arise. The Classical Academies test hearing and vision in K, 2nd, 5th, and 8th grade. They also test hearing in 10th grade and test boys for color blindness. School Nurse John Fitzgerald highlights the significance of proactive testing during these formative years, shedding light on the warning signs and testing processes. He explains how addressing hearing and vision concerns early can positively impact a child's academic performance, social interactions, and overall well-being.
