This Document Must be Completed by a Parent/Guardian if the Participant is Under the Age of 18

OVERVIEW

At VISIONS, it is our goal to provide an impactful and successful experience for each participant. To support that goal, and to benefit the wellbeing of the participant, it is imperative that all health and behavior information is fully disclosed. A participant will not be registered in a program until this form has been submitted and reviewed by a VISIONS representative. Please note the following:

After submitting this form, contact VISIONS immediately in the case of changes or updates in health or behavior.
Living in a foreign environment may create unexpected physical and emotional stress, which may exacerbate otherwise mild conditions. Full disclosure will allow program leaders to be better prepared, and to facilitate a safe and successful experience.
Participants with chronic medical conditions should be prepared and equipped to manage those conditions while on the program.
Participants who have been treated for a psychological condition, or who are currently prescribed a psychotropic, must be medically stable (meaning changes in symptoms are not expected).
VISIONS strives to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and we make reasonable accommodations when possible.

The parent/guardian(s) and participant are ultimately responsible for researching and understanding VISIONS, and for determining a participant’s suitability for a program. VISIONS is not a rehabilitation program and our programs are not appropriate for everyone. VISIONS recommends that you consult with a physician and/or travel doctor relative to any health or behavior concerns. This should include discussing vaccinations that may be suggested.
