Hearing & Vision Screenings

Hearing and vision screenings are conducted for students in their schools according to the Colorado Department of Education guidelines. These guidelines indicate that students in kindergarten, first, second, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth grades and exceptional needs students receive vision and hearing screening.

There is an important connection between a student's academic achievement and their vision and hearing. Parents are encouraged to observe their student and seek a medical evaluation for changing or significant concerns. The school health aide may be contacted for information regarding health and community resources available to parents.

Complete diagnostic audiological evaluations are available free of charge at the district's Audiology Department for:

• Students whose hearing screening results indicate a potential problem.
• Annual follow-up for students who have a history of hearing problems.

Hearing screenings are held at the Campbell Early Childhood Learning Center 6500 Oak St.
Arvada, CO 80004.

All students with hearing aids or assistive listening devices are also referred to district audiologists for evaluation. Parents may call 303-982-5940 for information regarding audiological evaluations.
