In the summer of 2020, College Success@Perkins hosted a virtual Co-Laboratory, a collaborative process in which a group of individuals seek to identify deep drivers to a complex problem as well as possible actions to address them. Key stakeholders gathered to identify factors preventing students who are blind and visually impaired from being prepared for college and to target actions to address the barriers. We will highlight actions initiated to support future college-bound students.
