TCSOS is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to all students. The school vision screening program has a vital role in the early identification of serious vision problems that may contribute to academic disparities. To fulfill this commitment, schools need to identify students with vision deficits that could adversely affect learning so that the students can receive timely and appropriate care.
