Vision and hearing
A newborn child should receive vision and hearing tests before leaving the hospital. Your health visitor will do an eye check observation at 6 to 8 weeks. When your child starts school they will have hearing and eye tests.
If at any point you think there is a vision or hearing issue that has not been picked up, you can speak to a school nurse or your GP.
There are a range of NHS, private services and charities that can help. Some people may benefit from specialist equipment.
