About the Perkins Training & Educational Resources Program
Our goal is sharing the experience and educational expertise of Perkins staff and partners with other professionals. Perkins trains more teachers, professionals and administrators working in blindness, deafblindness or multiple disabilities than any other agency in New England. With the development of more online offerings like on-demand webcasts and websites designed specifically for educators, we intend to expand our reach even further.
