Event Highlight - Perkins School for the Blind's Early Connections Conference
Description
The Perkins School for the Blind’s Early Connections Conference is a two-day event in May for families, educators, and medical professionals of young children with vision loss, deafblindness, and blindness to come together and find resources, support, community, and expert guidance.
Two of the people who organize the event, Rachel Bennett and Amy Ferreira, invited me over to the Perkins campus to share the history of the conference and why it exists, stories that show the impact of turning isolation into community, and details of this year's conference.
The Early Connections Conference is May 1st and May 2nd, 2026. Registration is open now through April 17th at perkins.org/earlycc.
Reach out to Rachel and Amy at earlyconnections@perkins.org.
