Perkins School for the Blind and ATC - Announcement

Building upon their mission to provide services that build productive and meaningful lives for people with impaired vision, Perkins School for the Blind intends to acquire the assets of Adaptive Technology Consulting, Inc. of Salisbury, MA. (ATC)  

ATC is a privately-owned company whose high-technology adaptive devices, training and consulting services bring greater independence to individuals who are blind, visually impaired or have learning disabilities.

During the past few years Perkins has increased their investments in hardware and software adaptive technology, expanded their technology staff, and augmented training for staff and students in other ways.  The addition of the ATC staff and services is a critical element of their long term plans to offer more technology services.

Perkins is committed to being a leader in providing technology services.  The integration of this group is a critical milestone in that effort, creating numerous positive effects for people with impaired sight seeking services and products including:

• Greater selection of high-tech adaptive devices from a single, well-known source.
• Expansion of critical adaptive technology services for on-campus and off-campus Perkins students and clients
• Access to many more products worldwide via the internet at www.perkins.org
• Wider adaptive technology service offerings for students and adults across New England
• A broader array of assistive devices and consulting services for clients of Perkins Low Vision Clinic and 55+ Outreach services
• Growth in the technological expertise of Perkins staff and the teachers who come to Perkins for professional development

ATC will be renamed "Adaptive Technology Consulting, a division of Perkins Products."
