Health Screening Program

Ohio County Schools conducts an annual speech, language, hearing, vision, and dental screening.  The screening is completed at all public and parochial primary and elementary schools, the public middle schools, and Wheeling Park High School.

According to the West Virginia Department of Education regulations, those students to be screened shall include:

  • All students entering school for the first time in West Virginia
  • Students entering kindergarten who did not participate in the pre-enrollment screening programs
  • Students considered at high risk for potential problems in hearing, vision, speech and language
  • Students in at least one other grade level for potential hearing and vision problems (third grade).

Additionally, students who were on a developmental retest list from the previous year and teacher referrals will be screened.

Any parent who does not wish to have his or her child screened must submit a written request to the Ohio County Schools Special Education Department, 2203 National Road, Wheeling, West Virginia 26003, or call the office of Special Education at (304) 243-0314 during regular business hours.
