Joaquín is a first-grader in who’s learning and engaging with his world thanks to a diagnosis that too often goes unnoticed.

His teachers at Escuela Especial San Alberto Hurtado, led by director and Perkins-trained educator Karina Osorio, used the Perkins CVI Protocol to confirm that he has the leading cause of blindness in children: Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment ( ).

With this new understanding, they adapted Joaquín’s classroom to match his visual and sensory needs. Now, he’s more engaged, communicative, and confident in his learning.

This is the impact of Perkins’ global reach. Graduates of our Educational Leadership Program are transforming classrooms around the world, helping children like Joaquín find their place in the world. 🌍✨

are spreading across Asia and in , children with disabilities are discovering the joy of sports and movement for the very first time!

With support from dedicated parents, teachers, and coaches, sports like goalball, bocce, track & field, and more, are now being introduced in Perkins’ partner schools. What began as basic training about how to make sports accessible has grown into a movement, with parents stepping up as leaders to ensure every child has the chance to play, grow, and shine.

Together, through sports, we’re building confidence and independence in these kids to last a lifetime!

Thanks to the collaboration of our partners for supporting kids to embrace sports and physical activity in Asia: Parent Advocates for Visually Impaired Children,Inc. - PAVICPHILS, Lauren Lieberman
