The Deafblind Program at the Perkins School for the Blind offers education and training to residential and day students who are deafblind.
Many students have additional handicaps.
Services emphasize individualized instruction and age-appropriate curriculum in an environment that encourages communication. The program offers academic instruction, vocational education and daily living skills training. Students are oriented to a wide variety of learning experiences both on campus and in the community. A more academic oriented program is available for students working toward a high school diploma. An interdisciplinary team of trained teachers, clinical staff and residential staff work together to implement each student's individual education plan.
