What happens when a student is struggling in class simply because they can’t see... and they don’t even know it? In this episode, ECPS School Health Coordinator Betty Hagans and Registered Nurse Deidre Nimblatt share how the Florida Heiken Vision Program is providing free eye exams and glasses to students who need them. Hear about the work it took to bring the program to Escambia County and how something as simple as a pair of glasses can transform a student’s confidence, engagement, and success in the classroom.Guests: Betty Hagans & Deidre Nimblatt https://www.miamilighthouse.org/FloridaHeikenProgram.aspLearn more about Escambia County School District: https://www.escambiaschools.org/Find additional links: https://www.voicesunitedineducation.com/podcast-episodesHost: Meredith Hackwith Edwards
