HEARING CONSERVATION: The SCOE Hearing Conservation Program provides State mandated hearing screenings to over 100,000 regular education and special education students in Stanislaus, San Joaquin, Tuolumne, Merced, Calaveras, and Mono Counties. This service is provided on a contractual basis to districts and counties upon request. Specially equipped vans travel from school site to school site to provide these screenings. Hearing screening services are provided for Head Start, preschools, and County employees per contractual agreement. Undetected and untreated hearing loss can impair a child’s speech and language development, learning ability and social growth. Early identification to any hearing loss is essential to provide effective treatment.
HEARING STAFF:
Services are provided on each school site in our hearing vans. These vans are equipped with group screening facilities, sound proof booths, and special equipment for Puretone screening, Threshold tests, and Impedance testing. HEARING FORMS:
