Maria Antonia Vazquez. Perkins International has been working systematically in Latin America to strengthen access and quality of education for people with deafblindness and visual/multiple disabilities for more than 25 years. Its focus is on strengthening the capacity of public school systems to address the needs of children with multiple disabilities and deafblindness and on documenting and disseminating evidence of successful practices that impact on children’s learning outcomes based on the training received by Perkins International Academy. The research is participatory as it supports joint reflection and proposes more inclusive ways of generating knowledge. The stories and experiences in each country where the monitoring is done, reveal individualities that show the particularity of change in real contexts.
