we areperkins

Perkins School for the Blind truly is everywhere. We are a beautiful campus with classrooms, atraining center for professionals and a special program for infants and toddlers and their families.We produce the Perkins Brailler® on our campus and in assembly plants in South Africa and India.We send teachers to help students in public schools across Massachusetts. Our library enables people throughout New England to read. We are helping develop programs for children in over 62 developing countries.

On campus, in the community and around the world, Perkins is doing what we have done sincebefore the days of Helen Keller. We sent Perkins alumna Anne Sullivan into the community, to the Kellers’ house in Alabama, and later educated Helen as a full-time residential student. Today we continue Helen’s commitment to helping people all over the world. As it was in Helen’s time, it is today.

It is a pleasure to reflect upon the tremendous accomplishments of 2007, our 178th year, and thevast number of people who have come together to ensure that Perkins continues to transform lives.We thank staff, trustees, volunteers, donors, and friends for their commitment to helping over90,000 people on campus, in the community and around the world.

Thank you for the commitment that makes dreams come true today and that plants seeds for aneven greater future — everywhere.

Sincerely,

Janet B. James Steven M. RothsteinChair of Perkins Board of Trustees President

learned from the best teachers, clinicians, therapists, and counselors, in classrooms, computer rooms, gyms and everywhere on campus.

• In order to maintain the best staff, we continued our multi-year plan of reducing the gap between Perkins salaries and the higher public schoolsalaries by increasing wages above the rate of inflation.

� Introduced more computers into more classrooms.

� Began plans for an expanded all-campus technology resource center.

� Purchased KNFB Readers, portable devices that read text aloud (for instance labels in a grocery store) for students.

• 550 volunteers worked in classrooms,offices, libraries and in the community.

• Perkins students learned about the world of work during internships in 25 Boston-area companies.

All that Perkins does begins on campus. The magic

between a student and teacher, the independence gained by step

after step of hard work, the accomplishment of developing to one’s full

potential…it all begins with our services on campus and is the foundation

for success of the over 90,000 people Perkins serves every year.
