Vision & Hearing Screening Along with your child's immunization records, Texas Law requires all children age four and older to be screened for vision and hearing problems upon entering a licensed facility for the first time. Written evidence of this screening must be on file in the Center office. Parents are responsible for the vision and hearing screening. This screening can be done by the child's physician or may be offered here at the Center in the spring and fall for a small fee.
