Our History
Bobby Dodd Institute is proud to carry on the legacy of former volunteer and passionate advocate Bobby Dodd. When BDI first began, Coach Dodd was a dedicated program volunteer who gave his time to support BDI clients as they prepared to enter the workforce.
Coach Dodd believed in helping others succeed by playing to their strengths. BDI shares this vision, and we are honored to continue Coach Dodd’s legacy through our name and mission.
BDI began as a program at All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) in the 1960’s. After decades apart, the two organizations officially reunited in January 2018 to reconnect their shared mission and better serve those with disabilities.
See what we’ve been up to lately in the news…
In 2020, only 17.9% of people with disabilities were employed. Down from 19.3% in 2019. At BDI, we're committed to ensuring that people who want to work are able to work. Visit to find the perfect position for you! #PWD #InclusiveEmployment https://t.co/P03hLSX9wB
