Bernie PAT Receives $1,000 Grant from Malden Walmart
February 08th 2018 by Dee Loflin
Bernie, Missouri - Through the Walmart Community Grant Program, the Malden Walmart recently awarded Bernie School District’s Parents as Teachers program with a $1000 grant.
Gary Eaton, Malden Walmart manager, is shown here presenting Casey Arnold and Courtney McGarity, Bernie Parents as Teachers’ Parent Educators, with the check.
The grant money is being used towards the purchase of an Otoacoustic Emissions Hearing Screener.
This OAE Screener rapidly screens infants, toddlers, and preschoolers with minimal cooperation required for those too young to respond.
If a child does not pass the hearing screening, s/he is referred to a health care provider or audiologist to determine the cause of the problem and work towards the appropriate intervention.
Ultimately, with the assistance of the Walmart Community Grant Program, the Parents as Teachers program will reach more families with early hearing interventions and positively impact more children’s lives in the Bernie community.
