What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Product, Assistive Device Center position at Perkins?
Perkins helps children with disabilities find their place in the world. An international NGO, we are committed to delivering best-in-class education to children, providing immersive training and support to professionals and families, advocating for inclusion, and accelerating innovation for people with disabilities.
Commercially available adaptive equipment doesn’t always meet the unique needs of our students. Some kids may require special accommodations for seating or positioning, and others may need items to optimize the vision they have. The products the Assistive Device Center (ADC) at the Howe Innovation Center designs and constructs help students access learning and communication by stabilizing learning materials, organizing their space, managing the day, and so much more. Most importantly, ADC devices help students realize exploring the sensory world around them is pretty cool
