ABOUT ALABAMA INSTITUTE FOR DEAF AND BLIND

Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) is the world’s most comprehensive education, rehabilitation, and service program serving individuals of all ages who are Deaf, Blind, DeafBlind, multidisabled, and their families. Founded in 1858, AIDB serves more than 30,000 infants, toddlers, children, adults, and senior citizens with hearing and vision loss throughout Alabama each year.

Our services span a lifetime and include five campuses in Talladega, a statewide network of regional centers, Early Intervention services, traditional and nontraditional educational opportunities in residential, day, and outreach settings, and a manufacturing facility known as Alabama Industries for the Blind (AIB), the state’s largest employer of adults who are Blind. AIDB’s three K-12 schools — Alabama School for the Blind, Alabama School for the Deaf, and Helen Keller School of Alabama — provide specialized educational services that empower students to achieve their full potential.

Our employees are among the organization’s most valuable assets and resources. We share a commitment to leveling the playing field for all. Our mission makes AIDB a unique place to work.

ABOUT THE ROLE

In this role, you will work directly with students who are Deaf, Blind, DeafBlind, or have multiple accommodation needs. Partnering closely with an Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB) interpreter mentor who meets specific institutional requirements, you will provide essential interpreting services to students and staff who use sign language to communicate. To support your professional growth and ensure quality, interns are never required to interpret without their assigned mentor present. Ultimately, the successful candidate will actively champion AIDB’s culture of inclusion, ensuring that all students feel deeply connected, recognized, and proud.

Academic Alignment & Syllabus Satisfaction This internship position is designed to officially align with the intern's respective accredited college or university school syllabus. AIDB will work cooperatively with the intern's academic institution to satisfy formal class requirements, practicum/fieldwork hours, or specific course objectives required for graduation.

Candidates must submit an internhip agreement for credit from their university to be considered.
