Hearing and vision assessments are an important part of your child’s preventative care. These assessments help reduce possible illnesses or academic failure from vision/hearing defects through early detection, referral and intervention.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that your child’s vision be checked annually beginning at age 3 and hearing at age 4. Hearing and vision screenings are completed during your child’s annual well visit, or on an as-needed basis if your child is experiencing difficulties seeing or hearing. These assessments are vital in monitoring your child’s development. If the screenings detect any problems with your child’s hearing or vision, we will provide guidance on the next step and treatment options.
