Frequently Asked Questions
Vision and hearing screening for children are vital components of pediatric healthcare because they serve as early detection tools for potential issues that could impact a child’s development. Visual and auditory impairments can significantly hinder a child’s ability to learn, communicate, and interact with their environment. By identifying these issues early through screening, healthcare providers can initiate appropriate interventions to address them promptly, thereby preventing further complications and optimizing the child’s potential for success in various aspects of life
Adolescents should begin receiving specialized healthcare services as they transition from childhood to adolescence, typically around the age of 12 or 13. Regular check-ups and screenings during this time help monitor growth, development, and address any emerging health concerns.
Adolescents should receive a series of vaccinations to protect against serious diseases. Common vaccines recommended for teenagers include HPV (Human Papillomavirus), meningococcal, influenza (flu), Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis), and COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and safeguard the health of adolescents and the community.
Adolescent Care encompasses mental health services to address common issues such as anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Our healthcare professionals provide evaluation, counseling, and referral services to support teenagers’ mental well-being. Open communication, education, and early intervention are essential for promoting positive mental health outcomes during adolescence.
If your child fails a vision or hearing screening, it’s essential to follow up promptly with their healthcare provider for further evaluation and assessment. Additional tests may be recommended to determine the extent and nature of the issue, such as comprehensive eye exams by an optometrist or further auditory testing by an audiologist. Depending on the findings, appropriate interventions, such as corrective lenses, hearing aids, or therapeutic interventions, may be initiated to address the underlying problem and support your child’s sensory health and development.
