Mary C. Zatta earned her Ph.D. from Boston College in 2003 in Educational Administration. She has worked at Perkins for 40 years – 30 years as a teacher then administrator in the Deafblind Program and 10 years for Perkins eLearning. Mary developed the Perkins eLearning course platform with a large catalog on online courses related to teaching children with visual impairments. For the past 10 years there has been an increasing demand for courses related to Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment which prompted the expansion of coursework in this area. We offer onsite and customized training related to CVI nationally and internationally.
In addition to her role in professional development, Mary also supports the work of Perkins International and has worked in over 20 developing countries over the past 30 years. In recent years, the identification of children with CVI has increased in these countries much the same as the United States.
