Dr. William Henderson transformed a Boston public school. In his book, The Blind Advantage, Dr. Henderson describes how losing his sight helped him think about learning and teaching in a new way. In his 30s, fit, and a father of three, he was going blind due to a degenerative disease. His doctor told him to stop teaching, as he would qualify for disability coverage. Instead, Henderson pursued a doctorate in education. He learned how to read Braille and use a cane. In knowing that a disability wouldn’t stop him, Henderson understood that all kids with disabilities could thrive in a rigorous academic setting. He went on to use his leadership skills and insight to transform the Patrick O’Hearn Elementary School in Dorchester, now known as the Henderson School.
