What blindness really looks like
Blindness is rarely absolute. It’s a spectrum.
Around the globe, 6 million children with multiple, complex disabilities are at risk of being left behind.
With your help today, we can help every child get access to the opportunities they deserve.

Teri Turgeon Perkins Infant-Toddler Program Director“Perkins inspires a level of trust that allows parents to relax, sometimes for the first time since their child was diagnosed. They start looking toward their child’s future, their education and their independence. That’s the peace of mind and hope for the future you provide when you support Perkins.”
