Audiometric Testing Program
Audiometric Testing Program

The Audiometric Testing Program (Audiometry) provides District-wide hearing screenings for both General Education students and Special Education students. Hearing screenings are mandated by the State of California.
State Mandates:
-
Kindergarten, 2nd, 5th, 8th, *10th or *11th grade at first entry into the California public school system.
-
Students new to California in non-mandated grade levels.
-
Students new to California at the Senior High level
-
Special Education students:
-
Initial Individual Education Program (IEP)
-
30-day placement IEPs (students new to California)
-
Triennial (3 year IEPs)
-
Staff members utilize equipment that meet ANSI specifications. Staff follow the State testing standards for hearing screenings. Every year, approximately 170,000 students (Pre-kinder through 12th grade) are tested by the Audiometric Testing Program.
Audiometry testing is used to identify and refer students with hearing loss. A hearing impairment, if not properly identified and treated, can have detrimental effects on a child's performance in the classroom.
*A waiver is requested by the District for the hearing screening test of 10th and/or 11th grade pupils once each school year.
