REFERRALS
Students who fail any of the health screenings will be referred for appropriate follow-up with a physician, dentist, or vision care specialist. Health screenings for vision, hearing, scoliosis and acanthosis are not diagnostic; they only show whether a student passes or fails the screening test.
Please have the health care professional complete the referral, which should be returned to the school clinic. Annual reports of all screening results for vision, hearing, scoliosis and acanthosis, evaluations and corrections must be submitted to the Texas Department of State Health Services.
