Renelda Alden and Bradley Swift from Seven Mile suspected their 5-year-old son Braden had a vision problem because he squinted all the time. So the parents were happy when they heard he would get his vision and hearing screened in Head Start.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They spoke with the health educator from the Sensory and Development Screening program in San Carlos about his results and were given a referral to take him for an eye exam, which confirmed that Braden needed glasses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The First Things First San Carlos Apache Regional Council funds developmental, hearing and vision screenings to improve the number of screenings for young children in the region, like the screening Braden received. According to the American Optometric Association, vision \u2013 or a child\u2019s visual system \u2013 is responsible for about 80% of their learning, so it\u2019s important that young children are screened early.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy this was caught early before it affected his progress in school,\u201d Alden said. \u201cI\u2019ve also noticed that Braden seems less frustrated and more calm now that he can see well. Braden was so happy to get his glasses, and I remember he said things like, \u2018Now I can see, and now I look like my Dad!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Swift, Braden\u2019s dad, noticed that Braden doesn\u2019t sit right on top of the television anymore or hold his tablet up to his face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen a definite improvement in Braden\u2019s sports as well, his baseball and basketball games have improved, and he just seems happier and more confident,\u201d Swift said. \u201cI took him up to the Forestry Department with me one day, and we heard airplanes going over. Braden excitedly said, \u2018Dad, I can see airplanes now and helicopters, too!\u2019 The glasses and the ability to see to the fullest have been a life changer for Braden, and we are so grateful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, the parents encourage other parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to get your child screened early to catch problems or delays early so they don\u2019t get behind in school,\u201d Swift said. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
