Perkins Today
In the 21st century, Perkins has expanded its mission online to include resources for families with blind and visually impaired children, and teachers of the visually impaired (TVIs). Perkins has also worked with its local partners in Asian countries to host an online community where educators, caregivers and families can network strategies on how to transition their students through life.
On the home front, the organization has built a state-of-the-art facility that houses the latest in accessible technology for people who are blind and visually impaired.
