Today the Iowa Department for the Blind is celebrating 100 years of service, advocacy, and progress. Over the past century, countless individuals have benefited from our programs, gaining the skills and confidence needed to lead fulfilling lives. Through vocational training, orientation and mobility services, educational support, and employment initiatives, we have championed the right of every person to pursue their aspirations without limitation.
