Screenings     

• Vision:
• The goal of our vision screening program is to identify a possible problem and refer that student to an eye care specialist for diagnostic evaluation and treatment when appropriate.
• There are resources available through SBCISD Health Services for students with no health care insurance*. 
• Hearing:
• Our goal is to identify children with hearing loss.  Without this procedure, many significant hearing losses can go undetected.
• Acanthosis Nigricans: 
• A disorder that causes light brown-black, velvety, rough or thickened areas on the surface of the skin.
• It is usually found around the neck, armpits, and over the knuckles.
• These markings in children can be a primary marker that signals high insulin levels, which is a sign of insulin resistance.
• Insulin resistance creates the potential risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
• Currently, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grade students are assessed for this marker.
