Description
Affiliated Blind of Louisiana, Inc. was founded in 1983 as a private, non-profit organization dedicated to providing special services and training to Louisiana's visually-impaired, blind and deaf-blind populations. Although numerous services were provided by ABL during its early years, creation of a training center was always envisioned by the original founders. Through the years, ABL has grown significantly. The organization has eight chapters and approximately 400 members throughout Louisiana, and over sixty employees throughout its various operations.
