Summary of the Alabama State Guidelines
1. Required Screenings
- Visual Acuity: Assesses the child's ability to distinguish details at a distance
- Depth Perception: Includes stereopsis screening to evaluate 3D vision.
- Color Vision Deficiency: Detects color blindness, an added benefit not included in traditional screening.
2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)
- While the document does not specify exact pass/fail thresholds, GLD-Vision® automatically:
- Selects age-appropriate charts based on the child’s needs.
- Adjusts itself for efficient, reliable screenings.
- Results are instantly available and accurate due to the validated method, minimizing human error.
3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening
- The document does not specifically address children who should bypass screening. However:
- GLD-Vision® is designed for all children, with a focus on simplicity and accessibility.
- It may eliminate the need for trained personnel to determine exclusions in traditional methods.
4. Required Tools OR Important Changes to Tools Used/Discontinued
Required Tools:
- A device (computer, tablet, etc.) with internet access and a browser for running GLD-Vision®.
- Children sit 10 feet from the device screen for the interactive matching exercise.
Changes and Improvements:
- GLD-Vision® replaces traditional wall charts and manual data entry.
- Eliminates the risk of memorization by dynamically presenting vision exercises.
- No need for specialized tools like occluders, physical charts, or paperwork.
- No specialized training is required, reducing personnel dependency.
- Results are secure, paperless, and instantly stored in a HIPAA- and FERPA-compliant database.
