Resources for Parents & Caregivers

Parents, family members and guardians are an integral part of the Perkins community. As the primary caregivers to someone who is blind or visually impaired, you need resources and knowledge to help your child succeed and grow.

We strive to equip families with the tools they need to take an active role in their child's education every step of the way.
