School Health Checkup Reveals Hidden Student Wellness Secrets
Unveiling Hidden Health Issues
Many health issues in children can go unnoticed without a comprehensive health checkup. For instance, vision problems are often undiagnosed in young students, yet they can significantly impact learning. A study by the American Optometric Association found that 25% of school-aged children have vision problems that can interfere with their education1. Similarly, hearing impairments, which affect approximately 1.7% of children, can lead to difficulties in communication and learning if not addressed2.
