Perkins School for the Blind

Join us on Thurs 5/7 for a taste of #Accessibility. A taste of #Inclusion. A #TasteOfPerkins 🍷🎶 From the gourmet food and creative cocktails to the stunning musical performances from our talented students, we promise that it'll be a night to remember: Perkins.org/Taste

At Perkins, we believe every child can learn. For some people who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired, braille is a vital tool for unlocking literacy. In this video, Declan shows the layout of a #PerkinsBrailler and how each key corresponds to the dots of a #Braille cell.

As a monthly donor, you can help provide the steady support our students need to keep growing, season after season. 🌷 For as little as $5 a month, you can help plant the seeds of success today: bit.ly/4rBZEiX

If you’re able to easily navigate the world, that’s not #Luck – it’s #Accessibility! 🍀 And #UniversalDesign means that everyone benefits. This #SaintPatricksDay, we're exploring some ways #InclusiveDesign improves things for all of us in the @BlindNewWorld

It’s #WomensHistoryMonth and we’re celebrating #Teachers like Andrea from Mexico who #SpreadLove by creating individualized lessons that let students like Ben feel independent and in control while learning critical skills. Accessible lessons that put the child first? Count us in!

As the #MilanoCortina2026 @Paralympics come to a close, we’re looking back at opening weekend. We loved seeing #Accessibility and #Disability front and center on the world stage! ✨ #Paralympics

Meet Zeke, who knows the first 26 digits of #Pi to celebrate #PiDay today, 3/14! How many digits can you name? Drop them in the comments.

What’s scarier: #FridayThe13th or these unnecessary barriers to #Accessibility? Don’t just #KnockOnWood – share these tips throughout the @BlindNewWorld so we can break the streak of inaccessibility!

From historic venues made accessible to adaptive technology and world-class athletes, the #MilanoCortina2026 @Paralympics show what’s possible when accessibility, innovation, & community come together. We were lucky to have someone from our team sharing the experience firsthand!

For young adults who are #Blind or #VisuallyImpaired, building career readiness starts with hands-on experiences that connect classroom learning to future opportunities. Our Pre-Employment Program is designed to do just that. Learn more and get involved: Perkins.org/Outreach

Tom's story with Perkins started when he was 3 months old, and it’s been part of his life ever since. “Because of Perkins, I found my place in the world. first as a blind student, and now as a professional and mentor.” Support more journeys like Tom's at: bit.ly/3N5NUqP

You may have noticed the Paralympic symbol (the #Agitos) and the #MilanoCortina2026 Paralympic mascot, Milo! But do you know what they signify? 🏅 Thanks to our friends at @PerkinsLibrary for collaborating with us on this post! #Paralympics #Olympics

As the #Paralympics remind the world what’s possible in #AdaptiveSports, this is where it starts for some kids who are #Blind. Our students joined @VtAdaptive to explore adaptive #AlpineSkiing, #Snowshoeing, and other fan-favorite winter activities in Killington, VT. 🎿

Hear from Sophia and Declan as they share how they approach explaining their disabilities to others, self advocacy, and make creating art accessible. 🎨 #Blind

Currently, U.S. bills aren't tactile, making it hard for #Blind people to tell them apart. Currency readers & apps help, but the burden shouldn’t fall on users. @PerkinsLibrary's Kim Charlson shares the history of accessible currency & when the first #Tactile bill may roll out.

What the world needs now is love – and perseverance. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we reflect on these wise words from #HelenKeller that encourage us to keep going. To keep trying. And to #SpreadLove.

The Black & Gold in the community 💛🖤 On Monday, Joonas Korpisalo and Henri Jokiharju had some fun with our four-legged friends over at @MspcaAngell. In addition, Alex Steeves visited @PerkinsVision for a friendly game of Goalball with student athletes.

What the world needs now is love – and a good song. 🦄 @ChappellRoan, what do you think? Keep on dancing at the #PinkPonyClub. Sing loud. #SpreadLove

@NHLBruins forward Alex Steeves joined our student athletes for a game of our favorite blind sport, goalball! Everyone wears blindfolds to level the playing field, using only sound to attack and defend. Rematch next year? 🤝 #BostonBruins

Every day, our teachers and staff lead with love, starting from the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to find their place in the world. 💓 #SpreadLove in your own community with the new Perkins Love T-shirt, available in pink and blue: bit.ly/46vhwV5
