KLK Permission and Record Release Form

Participation and Consent Form

A KanLovKids Low Vision Collaboration Clinic (LVCC) or Low Vision Collaboration Clinic + (LVCC +) is only intended to determine which low vision devices and strategies will assist children in completing educational goals. Because the clinic does not provide a complete medical examination of the eyes, the doctor recommends that all participating children receive a separate full medical eye examination at least every three years. The clinic doctor is able to provide referrals for full medical eye examinations upon request.

The clinic participant will be scheduled to receive services only after all necessary records are received by KSSB. This consent form is valid for one calendar year from the date it is signed. If the required records are not received within one calendar year, a new consent form will be required.

All services of the Kansas State School for the Blind (KSSB) are a part of the public education system of the state of Kansas. Records obtained or produced by KSSB’s employees and contractors in connection with these activities become a part of the child’s educational records and are protected under state law and the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Other educational entities are able to disclose relevant educational records to KSSB without additional consent. For additional details on family and student rights related to educational records at KSSB, please see the Student/Parent Handbook on the school’s website.

I understand that this consent is subject to revocation, in writing, at any time, unless action based on it has already begun. This authorization expires one year from today's date.
