| Admin/Biog History |
The Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind was founded in Talladega in 1858 and was originally called the Alabama Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb. A department for blind students opened in 1867, and the name of the school later changed to the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind. In 1887, the school for the blind became a separate entity called The Alabama Academy for the Blind (today called the Alabama School for the Blind), sharing the same board of trustees and principal as the Alabama Institute for the Deaf, today called the Alabama School for the Deaf. In 1892, the Alabama School for Negro Deaf-Mutes & Blind (later called the Alabama School for Negro Deaf and Blind) opened on the campus, also sharing the same administrative staff, and continued until desegregation in 1968.
