LIONS CLUBS HEARING AND VISION TESTS
FOR CHILDREN AGED 3.5 TO 6 YEARS OF AGE
Dear Parents,
Like many other Lions Clubs across Victoria, Northcote Lions Club is offering pre-schoolers and prep children (3.5 – 6 years) hearing screening AND Vision screening tests as part of its community service program.
Students under supervision from Melbourne University’s Audiology and Optometry Departments will carry out the play-based testing, and parents will be informed immediately and referred to their GP if hearing or Vision abnormalities are detected.
Early detection of hearing and vision loss is critical for the development of normal speech and language skills. Statistics indicate that around 3% of children tested are found to have difficulties.
These tests are FREE OF CHARGE, and will be held between 9.00 am and 4 pm on
Saturday 11th May 2024
at Wales Street Primary School, Thornbury
Entry and parking are from Clyde Street.
Testing can take up to 45 minutes, and One parent or guardian must be present with each child.
