Jan 10, 201214 yr Guides I did a hearing and vision screening on a young man last week - he forgot his glasses. In looking at his past history of H&V's, I noted that in 2008 the nurse that did the screening said the same thing. He didn't bring his glasses to school. One of the "goals" of his IEP was to figure out a way to make sure he brought his glasses to school. Looks like that goal was not attained.
