Scoliosis Screening Certification
2018-19 updates included




Participants will be certified to conduct Scoliosis screenings within the school district. Spinal screening certification is valid for 5 years from the date on the card. After that time, screeners must renew certification by passing another DSHS-approved workshop.

Who May Screen?
§37.142. Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in these sections, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. (10) Screener--An adult, non-student who performs the spinal screening test in a school setting. Screeners may be health practitioners who are licensed under state law or non-health practitioners who have successfully completed a department-approved course in spinal screening. Anyone may screen (health aides, LVN, physical education teachers, classroom teachers, and adult volunteers) provided they complete a spinal screening certification workshop conducted by the Department of State Health Services by an approved trainer.

Important Session Information:


This course is for non-RN school personnel so they are certified to do scoliosis screenings for their district.  LVNs are required to attend and any RN may attend for better understanding.  All participants will receive the complete booklet for scoliosis from the Texas DSHS. The new 2018-19 guidelines will be covered extensively.
