In Brazil, Perkins is increasing access to quality education for children with multiple disabilities in regular schools in partnership with Secretaries of Education, educators, parents, and civil society.
Our goal is to build a sustainable, scalable model for inclusive quality education in Brazil.
Brazil’s national education system is inclusive, with over 90% of children with disabilities enrolled in schools.
While the system is inclusive, teachers still need the practical support to create classroom environments that enable children with disabilities to access and participate in learning.
Perkins’ local team provides expertise and support to educators, impacting thousands of students in the regular public school system.
Lidiane Jacomini Family Coordinator, Perkins in Brazil“When I think about working with families, I believe it is about opening possibilities, about me being able to bring a perspective that life did not end and that we need to move forward looking for the best.”
Released quarterly, this newsletter uncovers the ways Perkins expands access to education for children with disabilities and ways you can help.
With your support, we train teachers and work with local partners so that children with disabilities in rural areas have access to an accessible and inclusive education.
