Visual and hearing health screenings and oral health screenings in schools
- O que é?
The visual and hearing health screenings are carried out by local health teams in schools on students who have not done these in regular family medicine consultations.
- Porquê?
Knowing that there are learning difficulties that arise from hearing and/or visual problems which are not detected on an early stage and that only become evident when there are already delays in learning, the early notification to local health teams for visual and/or hearing health screenings is essential.

Preferably students attending the 1st grade of basic education.
- Como posso aceder?
Through the services of the school the child is attending.
