My office provides vision screenings that test for these skills at many local schools. We would love to provide a vision screening at your school which would compliment your efforts to optimize learning opportunities, by ensuring that your students do not suffer from vision problems that can interfere with academic performance. The State of California mandates vision screenings in schools. You can be assured that our screenings meet and exceed the State's requirements for your school. Administering the Vision Screening
There is an $8.00 fee to be paid by each parent for the screening. This is the cheapest and most convenient way to find out if a student's visual skills are age appropriate, or if they are interfering with academic performance. Why is there a charge? The $8.00 covers our material costs for forms, mailing, and postage. We donate our time for these screenings as a community project. Teacher/Parent In-ServicesSince it is important for teachers and parents to recognize learning-related vision deficiencies before they interfere with learning, I would also be happy to provide a teacher/parent in-service at no charge. At these meetings I generally make a formal presentation, followed by a question-and-answer session. If you are interested in a vision screening for your school and/or a teacher/parent in-service, please call our office. |

Most people think that vision only consists of being
able to read an eye chart 20 feet away, but vision is so much more than "20/20"! Visual motor and perceptual deficiencies can significantly interfere with reading and
writing because it diminishes the ability to input visual information, which occurs before any cognitive processing occurs. Unfortunately, a general optometric or ophthalmologic exam does not evaluate functional
vision skills such as tracking, eye coordination, and focusing.
We make it easy! We provide all the paperwork you need such
as: parent consent forms and posters to promote the screening. We bring all the equipment and test forms on the day of the screening, and afterwards we'll send you a report for each
student who participated.
