What Participants are Saying

Prior to this course I questioned my vision screening techniques, the validity of the charts/tests we were using in our district and if we were conducting the screenings following up to date, best practice. Now I can be confident in my vision screening assessment, which is so important when screening students during such a critical period in their academic development – it should seriously be mandatory for all school nurses!

Dorice Groshon RN, BSN, CPN

Like before, learners will complete vision screening training modules online, pass the all knowledge checks, and participate in an Individualized Mentoring Session (IMS) with a Prevent Blindness Instructor.

Topics Covered

Conducting accurate, evidence-based vision screenings for children from birth through high school
How vision relates to learning and classroom behavior
Providing parent/guardian/caregiver education about healthy vision for learning, the importance of an eye exam, and preparing their child for the exam

Applying a systematic follow-up process to help reduce the gap between referrals from vision screening and completion of recommended eye examinations and treatment
