On our accessible #Playground, the #Xylophone is not only a functional musical instrument and bench, but each key also has an affirmation in #Braille so our students can engage in both auditory and tactile ways. ๐ถ

Embossed #TactileGraphics from the early 1900s by French educator Martin Kunz turned nature into something #Blind students could feel. He hand-carved molds and pressed paper to create raised illustrations with braille descriptions. Our Perkins Archives hold dozens!

Behind every early diagnosis is a family looking for support, answers and community. Thanks to a generous #CummingsGrant from @CummingsDotCom, we can continue our critical work by supporting even more children with disabilities through our Infant-Toddler Program and CVI Center.

Everettโs favorite thing about Perkins is the bell tower that tops our Howe building as it chimes on the hour and hosts our mascot, the Towerhawk! His favorite classes are Health and ELA and he enjoys audio and braille books, video games, & audio described movies.๐ #PerkinsGrads
