Prevent Blindness trainers will come to your location to train or will hold a training at our Middletown office. Once your screening team is trained, you may then train additional volunteers to help with the screening. You can trust Prevent Blindness Connecticut to train you to conduct a valid preschool vision screening program. A vision chart may be purchased or sometimes borrowed from a school system. Charts are priced very reasonably.
Supplies are minimal and can usually be produced inexpensively.
For example, something that blocks the eye called occluders can be cut out of construction paper. Prevent Blindness Connecticut can provide you with masters of all the forms that you will need for notifying parents and keeping records. The requirements to get started are minimal and inexpensive. Prevent Blindness provides free training, can help with materials and screening sites. Join the 67 volunteer teams across the state screening in approximately 60 towns.
