Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind Revenue and Competitors

AIDB has been serving children and adults with hearing and vision loss statewide for 150 years through Talladega based campuses. But in the 1980s we began addressing the needs of thousands of individuals in their homes and communities across Alabama. Perhaps you are a parent whose newborn infant or a toddler has been diagnosed with a hearing or vision loss. Or you are deaf and need an interpreter for a medical appointment or a job interview. Or maybe you are among the growing numbers of â_ograyingâ_ seniors who is learning to cope with age related hearing or vision loss. An AIDB Regional Center near you can help! Each Regional Center â_" located in Auburn, Birmingham, Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Montgomery, Talladega, Tuscaloosa and Tuscumbia - offers a unique mixture of services, because each Center has been developed according to the needs of the community it serves. What they all share, however, is a deep commitment to creating a better way of life for all our clients, of all ages, all with many different levels of ability and many different goals. The AIDB Regional Center network began in 1980 with early intervention programs serving infants, toddlers and their families. In 1985 a $1 million grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation enabled us to expand these centers to serve adults and seniors â_" a concept which has flourished and continues to grow as we bring our staff resources in assistive technology, counseling, mobility, interpreting, referral, therapy, educational and job training services to the homes, schools, businesses and communities in all 67 counties of Alabama. Each Regional Center serves several counties. Most of our services are free to residents of Alabama with a diagnosed loss of 25% or more of hearing or vision, or children with a diagnosed developmental delay.
