It has been said that children are our priority...children are our future...we must do our very best for children. What happened?

We put many hours into this form so that it will have meaning and value to both parents and teachers. We want to make sure children get a quality exam at their eye appointment. Unfortunately, I don't have a concrete answer as to why our form was not accepted. The only reponse I got from DPH was this...DPH wants "one form." DPH thinks more than one form will be confusing and suggested we use the State form in our campaign. I disagree. The State form limits the form's use to just a required eye exam and one law. The Vision First form is versatile. It can be used for four laws! From vision screening notification to recommended and required eye exams. Now that's simple and easy for schools and parents. I wish DPH would see that. :) Thank you, Cecilia, for your compliment about our form! We put many hours into this form so that it will have meaning and value to both parents and teachers.

The Vision First form looks really good and thorough. Is there a reason why the Vision First form was not accepted? The Vision First form looks really good and thorough.
