Perkins School for the Blind is the worldwide leader in education services for children and young adults who have multiple disabilities and visual impairments. We believe every child can learn and learning is for life.
Around the globe, in over 97 countries, Perkins-trained educators are reaching children at risk of being left behind. On campus, we’re constantly innovating to meet the needs of our students. And everywhere in between, we’re responding to the real-world, real-time needs of our community. Like Helen Keller, who defied public assumption and went on to become a global changemaker, children with multiple disabilities need and deserve their potential to be unlocked. That’s why we’re committed to delivering best-in-class education to children, providing immersive training to professionals and creating a world of inclusion, accessibility and opportunity for people with multiple disabilities.
More than 240 million children live with disabilities around the world. Through our Perkins international programs, we change the landscape of education services to fit children, helping them learn and thrive. In partnership with governments and civil society, we set new standards for what is possible—for children with multiple disabilities and for our world.
