Perkins is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive website experience for all visitors, regardless of their abilities or the technology they use to access the internet.
We strive to ensure that our website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA, which are widely recognized standards for web accessibility.
Inclusion and accessibility are our daily work. We worked intentionally to make Perkins.org accessible. We continue to monitor accessibility and always strive to be better.
Our internal accessibility consulting group, Perkins Access, provides the school with ongoing inclusive design advice, training, accessibility audits, usability testing with people who are blind / low vision as well as remediation guidance for the perkins.org site.
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are continually working to improve the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any barriers to accessing our website or content, contact us via this form and we will do our best to address your concerns.
We are pleased to offer Aira, a visual interpretation service to anyone requiring visual assistance to access our digital content or physical campus.
Aira is a live, human-to-human professional assistance service, an accommodation or productivity tool, that enhances independence by delivering on-demand, skilled and reliable visual interpreting for just about any task.
Aira Services are available to anyone physically onsite at the Perkins Campus in Watertown, MA. You can also access the Perkins School for the Blind offer virtually when interacting with our website or any other Perkins product.
