Defining success 2018 ANNUAL REPORT ii | PERKINS SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND

From the CEO and Board Chair

At Perkins School for the Blind, success is a journey made up of both big and small moments: a hard-won epiphany in math class, a needed connection with a career mentor, the discovery of a new app that helps with mobility. It’s those moments that reassure families, students and educators that success is worth fighting for, and fuel our motivation to make the world a more inclusive place for everyone. In its 189th year, we at Perkins are focusing on success: the roads toward it, the vehicles that empower it and the ways our students embody it. Without a doubt, much work remains to ensure all children have access to a quality education and the opportunities to fulfill their potential. For us, success is not just a single, triumphant end goal.

Your generous support — through donations, through time, through advocacy — is what makes this success possible. Without you, there is no Perkins. Without you, there is no impact to the blind community.

With your help, we’re making changes and helping people with visual impairments build success all over the world. And the small moments of discovery and achievement are just as valuable and worthy as the big milestones.

In these divisive times, we’re taking action. Your support allows us to advance this critical work in the world and help students to continue succeeding now and into the future. Warmly,

By redefining what’s possible. At Perkins School for the Blind, every moment of every day is an opportunity for our students to learn. Each win — each moment of success, large or small — is a way to break down barriers and a chance to celebrate the value of each person.

Defining success

What does it mean to succeed? To help students reach their fullest potential, Perkins looks beyond what seems possible. Building success

What leads to success? With the right access and tools, Perkins shows students how to embrace challenges and chart a path forward. Celebrating success

What does success do? It builds confidence. It proves a point, and leads a student to his or her next step. It brings more success. Because of your generosity, success is within our students’ grasp. Read on to learn about the milestones Perkins and our families marked this year — with your support — in the fight to help all children with visual impairment reach their potential. 2 | PERKINS SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND Defining success

A global effort to fill the global classroom Imagine the barriers children with visual impairment face in the United States. Now, imagine the barriers those children might face in environments incapable of supporting them. That’s reality for millions of children around the world.

That’s also why Perkins’ Educational Leadership Program is so important. Through the ELP, educators from every corner of earth spend nine months on our campus. Here, they discover innovative new ways to make learning accessible, and then they return to their home countries to put those skills to use.

In Nairobi, Kenya, for instance, Edwin Mwaura, a 2014 ELP graduate, helps families of children with disabilities in his community. Just last year, he and his team found Peter in the Kibera Slum: totally blind due to cataracts, unenrolled in school and without access to resources. Edwin’s team provided support and training to the family. They referred him for corrective surgery and ultimately empowered his mother to advocate for Peter, now 4, and finally get him enrolled in school. “His parents had no hope he could learn,” said Mwaura. “Now they have hope and Peter can pursue an education.” That’s just one story. All of our ELP graduates — 300 and counting — are making their communities and classrooms flourish.

Uniting for change Individuals can ignite change on their own, but it doesn’t compare to the incredible work they can accomplish together.

The deafblind community is no exception. Advocates are working constantly to improve student resources and change public attitudes. This April, Perkins co-sponsored Deafblind International’s inaugural Network of the Americas Conference to bring these incredible individuals together to maximize their impact. The international conference gathered over 400 participants, including former UNICEF executive director Anthony Lake, all committed to creating lasting change. At the four-day symposium, collaborators focused on how to champion lifelong learning through partnerships. They asked: how can we help each other create a more inclusive world? Perkins President and CEO Dave Power spoke about global initiatives like Perkins International Academy, which helps nations provide inclusive, quality education Tackling emerging causes of visual impairment for all children. He summed up the goals of the conference and beyond: “We Cortical, or sometimes cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a condition know every child can learn,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to make sure every caused by damage to the brain’s visual pathways and visual processing government, community and school has the training, tools and expertise to centers. It’s emerged as the new leading cause of blindness among deliver that education.” children, but the disorder is still widely misunderstood. As a result, children are going undiagnosed and aren’t being given the tools they need to learn.

Perkins is taking action. We’re developing innovative education plans designed to help students improve their use of vision. We’re also partnering with families, teachers and doctors from around the country to put those plans into practice. And children are benefiting already. In August, Perkins hosted the first-ever CVI Family Vacation, bringing together families with children who have CVI for a weekend of learning and recreation. Joel, 8, was one such child who came to campus with his family. For Joel, the weekend was educational but mostly fun. His favorite part? “Everyone’s been my friend,” he said. For his parents, the weekend was an invaluable learning opportunity, connecting them with families in similar positions while simultaneously teaching them about CVI and how to advocate for their child. Isa Flores, Joel’s mother, said, “This is a new door that just opened for us.”

With work like this, the possibilities are life-changing. 4 | PERKINS SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND Building success

Mapping the road to higher education College can be hard to navigate for any student. Add a visual impairment, and it gets even harder: six out of 10 blind or visually impaired college students never graduate. That’s why Perkins aims to help students with this transition. From the start, we’ve been committed to helping students reach college, graduate and fulfill their educational dreams. With generous support from the William M. Wood Foundation, we launched College Success@Perkins, our new gap-year program designed to help students learn how to master the higher education system and to self-advocate among their sighted peers. The first class, made up of 10 participants across six states, moved to campus this fall. They’re spending nine months learning the essential skills they’ll need to thrive professionally and socially.

Every young adult deserves access to a quality education, but sometimes they need help getting in the door. With your support, the Class of 2019 will be the first of many to successfully achieve their college dreams. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT | 5

Independence through innovation Perkins has a long history of embracing technology that empowers people with visual impairment. Now, we’re more focused than ever on helping everyone else do the same. This means championing inclusive design so that budding entrepreneurs and business leaders alike consider the needs of all people when designing digital products and customer experiences. Through Perkins Access, we’re partnering with forward-thinking companies in every sector to ensure websites, apps and digital products are accessible. We provide consulting services from the earliest stages of design and incorporate the perspectives of users with disabilities in our testing. By helping companies embrace accessibility, they’re able to grow their brand and win new clients by making the customer experience more inclusive for all. We’re also working with the future in mind. At this year’s first-ever Perkins Hackathon, over 100 college students from around the U.S. came to campus to try to solve common challenges for people with visual impairment. Their 22 solutions included apps to help students find empty cafeteria seats and a tactile lever device that uses 3D printing to allow coders Launching students into fulfilling careers to physically feel data. Every student walked away understanding what it means to create accessible technology for every user, What happens after school? We’re not content to simply help students map knowledge they’ll take with them as they start their own careers. their road to academic success — what comes after is equally important.

That’s why we introduced Career Launch@Perkins, designed to equip young adults who are blind with the skills and experience necessary to jumpstart a long-term, sustainable career. With planning underway to welcome a pilot class in 2019, Career Launch will prepare young adults with the skills they need to land roles in customer success, a field of growing importance to all kinds of industries including healthcare, hospitality and tech. With this much-needed expertise, a talented young person takes the first step towards a rewarding lifelong career. In turn, a business gains a diligent worker with a unique perspective and approach to solving problems. By providing skills training, internship experience and a helping hand in the job search, Perkins helps participants take a bold first step toward building a fulfilling career. 6 | PERKINS SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND Celebrating success

Focusing on what matters most The educators in Perkins’ Deafblind Program are tirelessly committed to helping their students make meaningful connections with their friends, families and the world around them. To do that, they must embrace the unique needs of every student, empowering them to make their presence felt in the classroom, at home and in society. But how?

For starters, the Deafblind Program at Perkins is devoted to the philosophy of Total Communication. That means any and all methods of communication are taught, encouraged and celebrated. Interaction could be through spoken word, braille, signing, gestures, pictures, the use of technology or even objects. In this way, educators can meet students at their level, and help them convey what they need using the communication tools that suit them best. When a student succeeds in making a connection for the first time, like learning to sign or write her own name, it’s a big milestone.

The same goes for helping students navigate the world around them — a skill known as orientation and mobility — starting with their world on campus. The residential program practices learning through consistency, furthering this development and helping long-term habits form. We believe every student has the potential and ability to learn, and we’re committed to helping students make the connections that matter most — for today and tomorrow. 2018 ANNUAL REPORT | 7

Climbing on Small, everyday accomplishments are important — but the big ones are life-changing. Myat Haggart, a student in the Deafblind Program at Perkins, has wanted to climb the hill Dumyat in Ochil Hills, Scotland, his entire life. Myat’s early life was plagued by surgeries and treatment; he developed blindness and deafness at a young age from a gene mutation so rare he’s the only one known to have it. Myat calls Dymyat “his hill;” his father used to climb it when he was young, and it’s the origination of Myat’s name. Dumyat stands 1,371 feet high, and it seemed out of reach for Myat once his condition developed. But Myat never gave up his goal. He decided to ask people to support his climb and donate the money back to Perkins. This year, at age 12, Myat climbed Dumyat and he raised almost $2,000 for Perkins through his climb.

Now he’s back on campus, finding new mountains to climb.

Every milestone, a new beginning Antonio Moura came to Perkins’ Deafblind Program in 2012 as a 15-year-old, but he was already thinking seriously about his future. He longed, ultimately, to learn how to cook for himself, to do his own laundry, to make friends, to swim, to work. He wanted to gain the skills to live independently. Perkins offered him the communication, residential and curricular resources he needed to reach those goals.

Living on campus, Antonio learned how to perform the everyday chores and responsibilities necessary for adult life. Through the Expanded Core Curriculum, he built both vocational and social skills for success at work and life. And because Perkins offers a Total Communications approach to learning, he was empowered to speak up for himself using sign language, spoken word, technology and more.

This individualized approach was critical to Antonio’s current success. But his time here will also help him build the future he imagined. This past June, he delivered opening remarks at graduation. Now 21, he’s planning his transition away from Perkins and, with the skills he acquired on campus, he’s hoping to find an accessible apartment and long-term employment opportunities. His journey’s just beginning. Fundraising 8 | PERKINS SCHOOL FOR THE BLIND 6% Other Administrative 14% 34% Government - Federal, State and Local Programs 53% 80%
