The InterMountain Education Service District (IMESD) will provide free hearing screenings to public elementary school students through November.
Hearing screenings are conducted annually by the IMESD’s Audiology Department for public school students in Umatilla, Morrow and Union counties, and is cooperatively sponsored by 17 local school districts. Students to be screened include nearly 6,300 kindergarten, first and third grade students, new students to a county, and parent/teacher/principal referrals of students in other grades. Children who fail the initial screening will be re-screened within a three-week period.
Screenings begin the first week of September and will continue through November.
Parents who do not want their child’s hearing to be screened should notify their child’s school as soon as possible. Anyone with questions regarding the hearing screening program should contac your local school principal or the IMESD Audiology Department at 541-966-3147.
