Last time, the blog posting explained our four fee-for-service programs available at the League. Today, let's talk about additional programs available here at the League. These specific programs have the requirements of being a person with a disability and living in a county served by the League (Adams, Allen, DeKalb, Huntington, Jay, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wells and Whitley). Let's learn more about Adaptive Equipment Services, Independent Living Services Skills Training, Senior Blind Services, Youth Services, and Advocacy Services. Adaptive Equipment Services: This program helps people with disabilities obtain equipment needed to live independently. Demonstration of different adaptive devices is available here at the League or in your home. Still not sure if the equipment is right for you? There is a loaner program so that you can determine if your equipment will be a practical purchase. Independent Living Services Skills Training: This program is designed to help you live in the community independently. Learn daily living skills such as homemaking or balancing your checkbook. Receive assistance to get out of or prevent from going into the nursing home. Obtain community resources such as housing, furniture, Medicaid, and more. Senior Blind Services: If you are age 55 or older and have vision loss, this program can help provide skills, techniques, and equipment to perform daily tasks for living independently.
