In my time working with them, he has had several vision/hearing tests done and has failed the vision screening every time. I have sent messages to the family several times and a paper from the people who do the vision/hearing screening saying that he may need to see the doctor about his vision. Unfortunately, they refuse to have their child checked to see if they may need glasses and I am afraid that it could be a major factor into why they have fallen behind so much. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) There may be a financial issue present. Unfortunately, children that have state health insurance do not have access to affordable visior care. The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) cover basic health insurance and very basic dental care. Vision is not included, so in this case, I would come prepared for free or low cost vision alternatives. If you cannot find them, then the issue goes beyond your help. I would reach out to other administrators and teachers to see how they have handled issues like this in the past.
