In Virginia screening includes hearing and speech-language and voice for all new students through grade 3.  New  students are considered those who are new to Virginia public schools, not new to each school or division. 

Parental consent to participate in mass screenings is not required.  Parents must be informed if their child does not pass the screening. 

The regulations specify that students "may be re-screened after 60 business days if the original results are not considered valid."  If the re-screening results suggest that the student need to be referred for an evaluation for special education and related services, the referral must be made to the Child Study Committee Chairperson within the appropriate timelines.
