Section 612:10-11-1 - Purpose(a) Older Blind Independent Living Services (OB) is a formalized program of services with the purpose of enhancing the ability of an individual with severe vision loss to live independently and function within his/her family and community. Older persons who have vision loss remain more independent when they learn new skills to help them adjust to blindness and make the most of their remaining vision. Through one-on-one instruction, they remain independent or reach this goal which increases confidence, self-esteem and quality of life. (b) Personal adjustment services through OB are defined as services that allow control of one's life based on the choice of acceptable options which minimize reliance on others in decision making and in performing every day activities.
