Every day, millions of children with visual impairment around the world are denied the education they need to unlock their full potential. Perkins International works to break the isolation and neglect these children face, transforming their futures through the power of learning.
Perkins International helps make systemic change for children with multiple disabilities at all levels from the ground up. With Perkins training and coaching, community members, educators and policy makers recognize that all children can learn. That’s why we work to help teachers acquire the skills and knowledge to create innovative programs for children.
The Educational Leadership Program (ELP) offers advanced training to teachers of the visually impaired and other professionals from developing nations.
Perkins International Academy courses are designed to give more children around the world access to Perkins-trained teachers.
Together with you, we design tailor-made solutions to put your program, staff and leadership development on the path to excellence in education for children with multiple disabilities.
