Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year Low Vision and Refraction Clinics! 

We have an easier online system for completing the TVI and parent or legal guardian forms. The forms will be sent by email and completed using the secure software, DocuSign. First, the parent or legal guardian will complete their portion of the forms. Next, the forms will be routed to the TVI to complete their portion.  

Our clinics travel to you and there is NO COST to attend. 

SCHEDULE for the 2025-26 school year:  

October 21, 2025     Wausau, WI 
November 18, 2025  Plymouth,WI

To refer students, complete the WCBVI Vision Clinics Referral Form  

  • Submit a referral if you’d like a student to attend one of the 2025-26 scheduled clinics. If there is an opening, the student will be added to the clinic. If the clinic is full, the student will be added to the waitlist. 
  • A student must be receiving services from a Teacher of the Blind and Visually Impaired (TVI).   
  • It is your responsibility to notify your student’s family that you are making this referral.   
  • If you are a parent or legal guardian and you are interested in having your child attend a clinic, please ask your child’s TVI to complete a referral form. 

Would you like to hold a clinic in your area? Referrals for the upcoming school year need to be completed by April 1 to be considered when determining clinic locations. We can plan a clinic in your district or CESA area if a minimum of 4 students are referred. Please share Vision Clinic information with your colleagues, especially if they are new to the process.   

PLEASE NOTE: WCBVI Vision Clinics do not replace regular, routine eye exams. All students attending the clinics must provide the most recent ocular report from their personal eye care practitioner. Reports from previous WCBVI Vision Clinics cannot substitute for this ocular report. To be eligible for a clinic, students must be eligible for services under the Wisconsin DPI disability category Blind and Visually Impaired.
