TALLADEGA ?Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind is in the middle of a flurry of construction projects, and according to AIDB President Dr. Terry Graham, all about the children.
Rogers visited Helen Keller School Tuesday to talk to the AIDB Board of Trustees about $200,000 in funding for a new program to train interpreters for the deaf, which has been approved by the House of Representatives and now goes to the Senate. The program would be a cooperative effort between AIDB, which has resources to provide the training, and colleges and universities around the state, which would give college credit to students who take the course.
Including the nine regional centers situated throughout Alabama, AIDB serves more than 12,000 blind and deaf people, with about 400 residential students ?3 years old and up ?living on-campus at ASD, ASB or Helen Keller School.
