Article: [senco-forum] exclusion and integration

Keith Holland did a study on a school for the excluded and found that about
18 of the 20 students he investigated had hidden vision issues.

One of our Y2 students was showing selective listening and we sent him to
the Dr for an ear test even though there were no overt symptoms.  He has
glue ear and significant hearing loss on one side.  Even the Dr said he
would not have picked it up from symptoms.

Steve Chinn spoke of a teenager who had never learned to read.  An eye test
showed he needed glasses.  Once he had them he was able to learn to read.

How many students are there who need eyes and ears checked?
