ASDB - Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind

We recently invited members of our local media to tour our new campus and see how students and staff are settling into the new campus!

During their visit, reporters had the opportunity to explore classrooms and campus spaces, see learning in action, and speak with students and ASDB leadership about the transition and what this new chapter means for our community.

Thank you to our local media partners for taking the time to visit, learn more about our campus, and help share our story with the community!

This past Saturday, members of the ASDB team had the opportunity to attend the National Federation of the Blind of Arizona State Convention in Tucson!

It was a great opportunity to connect with members of the community, share updates, and discuss the continued work of our cooperatives.

We’re excited to share that artwork created by one of our Region 2 Outreach students was selected to be displayed at the IDEA Conference this week!
