Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic Yesterday at RFB&D headquarters, we had a visit from the amazing Linda Tessler, who shared a riveting glimpse into the mind of someone who has broken through barriers imposed by dyslexia, yet still lives with it every day. Stay tuned for updates on Linda, her experience using RFB&D's audio textbooks, and exerpts from her own wonderful book "One Word at a Time."

Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic
On October 24, 2009, the newly expanded Hollywood, California studio was the setting for a ribbon cutting ceremony accompanied by a BBQ for its dedicated volunteers. Long-time and new volunteers came out in great numbers to celebrate the addition of six new recording booths at the Hollywood studio’s new downstairs room....
Area Director Mike Davis and Western Regional Executive Director Cindy Jackson were on hand to join in the celebration and help Production Supervisor Sherry Weeks cut the ribbon to launch the new room.
Sherry and many other staff members worked hard over the summer months to transform the formerly empty downstairs room into a fully-working studio, along with repainting the entire upstairs. With a fresh new look and reorganization, Hollywood now has a total of 13 recording booths, meaning more volunteers can record more books for more students! Read More
