Join us on Saturday, September 30th, at Perkins School for the Blind as we
travel through the historic, picturesque campus, alongside the Charles River and
through Watertown’s Braille Trail in support of children with disabilities and
their families. At the finish line, enjoy a festival of family-friendly
activities.

degree. We’re leading the national conversation about college success for kids
with disabilities.

How to help
> Gary Aussant Director, Perkins Access
> 
> “A lot of people don’t realize how difficult it is for people with
> disabilities to navigate the digital world. It’s important to me to help our
> clients truly understand that accessibility really makes a difference to
> people, and to the world. Because an accessible experience is really a better
> experience, for every customer. ”

> Katherine Holland Perkins International
> 
> “At Perkins, we believe in possibility, this radical view that everyone
> matters, that every child can learn, and learning is for life. And we have the
> expertise to make it happen. We’re not bystanders—we act, locally, nationally,
> and around the world.”

> Rachel Bennett CVI Now
> 
> “Raising a child with a different normal means I am building a new world for
> my son every day. It’s incredible that my personal journey has brought me to
> Perkins as the Content and Community Manager for CVINow.org. We are building
> CVI Now into an essential website and a dynamic online community for CVI
> families.”
