It’s the season of gratitude – and we have so much to be thankful for. 🫶 But here's a hint about the everyday things that we really appreciate: #Accessibility and #Inclusion. We teamed up with our friends at BlindNewWorld for this list of things that make us say “Thanks!”

We’re so thankful for play! It’s fun and an important way our students learn. With adaptive toys, students with disabilities at Perkins can explore, imagine, and grow every day. This #GivingTuesday, your gift can help make more moments like this possible: bit.ly/4nBBV0g

Joaquín, a first-grader in #Chile, is thriving thanks to a Perkins-trained teacher who used the CVI Protocol to confirm his Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (#CVI) diagnosis. Adapting his classroom to his needs has made him more engaged, confident, and communicative. 🌍✨

An amazing #MyPerkinsBrailler story. On The Amazing Race, contestants competed in Paris - birthplace of #Braille and the Statue of Liberty - using a #PerkinsBrailler to transcribe a line from Lady Liberty’s iconic poem. 🗽 (Spoiler: it’s not as easy as our students make it look!)

A year ago, school was overwhelming for Rudik, a 3rd grader with #DownSyndrome. Routines and expressing himself was challenging. But everything changed when his teachers, trained and supported by Perkins and the Government of Armenia, created a classroom tailored to his needs.
