Hearing Services
Hearing loss is a medically diagnosed condition documented in an audiogram and report from an Ear, Nose and Throat Medical Doctor (ENT) or Registered Audiologist. If you suspect that your child has a hearing loss, contact your family Medical Doctor and/or Public Health Audiology.
Those students with a medically documented hearing loss should be referred to Student Support Services using the School District 42 Request for Learning Services Referral Form with audiogram and audiology report attached. The documentation will be reviewed by a Hearing Resource Teacher and a decision will be made as to the appropriate level of support services.
