If you need to obtain a vision evaluation, please feel free to use this eye evaluation report form. It can provide us and your educational team with much clearer information so that we can better serve your child. We really like this form developed by the Texas School for the Blind for obtaining information from the eye doctor.

For obtaining either hearing or vision evaluations, you might try contacting:
