Welcome to Voice and Vision India - National Resource and Training Centre for Children with Vision Impairment and Multiple Disabilities, including Deafblindness .
Perkins International of Perkins School for the Blind, USA helped set up Voice and Vision India in 2002 to build a pool of professionals to work with children with visual impairment and multiple disabilities including deafblindness across India.
Voice and Vision India works in partnership with government agencies and NGOs to train Master teachers, teachers, CBR workers, aanganwadi workers, supervisors and families of children with VIMD in all regions and states of India. We also train and support professionals from other Asian countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

"The Transition Asia Website, which is now ready to view at http://transitionasia.weebly.com/ This site was created at the recommendation of a Strategic Planning meeting on Transition in the Asia Region.Sponsored by Perkins International
http://www.perkins.org/international-programs/about/ the site is designed to be a resource for those in the field, including teachers, rehabilitation workers, parents, and youth. Through the website, we would like to create a forum for discussion and a space to share questions, concerns and lessons learned in facilitating successful transition outcomes for students with multiple disabilities and visual impairment (MDVI). You will find planning tools, examples of transition programs, and case studies from around the Asia Region, all designed to give you ideas and help youth with MDVI to lead the most independent and meaningful lives possible. Some of the case studies include questions for others in the field, and it is our hope that this will be an interactive site."
