2016 Annual Report Changing the world doesn’t happen in a day.

It happens every day.

Changing the world is an essential part of our work at Perkins School for the Blind. It’s the only way children and young adults with blindness, low vision and deafblindness will ever get the opportunity to truly share their talents and dreams with the rest of the world.

Changing the world starts, as it has for 187 years at Perkins, with the world-class education we provide to students, on campus and in local communities. It expands outward to the thousands of special education teachers we reach through Perkins eLearning and other professional development opportunities. And it takes flight to dozens of countries around the globe, where Perkins International offers training and expertise to schools, nonprofits and government agencies.

We know that to change the world, we must first change minds. Our campaign, BlindNewWorld, is already doing that. BlindNewWorld From the CEO and the Board Chair is at the heart of our efforts to break through barriers of pity, ignorance and fear – and change the world’s perception of blindness. Since we At Perkins School for the Blind, we’ve always known enough. We must also convince the world to welcome launched it in May, millions of people have been exposed to the that belief is one of the greatest gifts you can give to people with blindness as equals – or our students will campaign on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. children who are blind.

Achieving that goal wouldn’t be possible without the that change is occurring in classes, on public transportation, We’ve always known that education is essential, too. generous support of the Perkins community. We’re deeply in social situations, on job sites, in neighbors’ homes and For 187 years, we’ve been teaching students who are blind, grateful to all the individuals and organizations that support throughout developing nations. deafblind or visually impaired with additional disabilities. our work, including members of the Perkins-Business Our extraordinary educators work with children and young Partnership, supporters of our BlindNewWorld initiative At Perkins, we know changing the world isn’t easy.
