Free Vision Screenings
Vision screenings help to determine if a child has a vision problem before they reach elementary school.
Should a problem be observed, parents will be notified to schedule the child for a professional eye
examination.
Vision Awareness Program
The Vision Awareness Program provides children
and their teachers with valuable information about eye health & safety.
Educational materials are provided so that the students can share what they've learned
with their parents. In most cases, the program includes a team of two with a guide dog.
Presenters demonstrate how the dog is of service to
a person without vision.
