NAILS
is a federally recognized program which has successfully assisted hundreds of
Native Americans with disabilities in the Western New York region. The staff has
a proud reputation for culturally sensitive, professional and ethical conduct,
enabling NAILS to develop working relationships with health agencies and leaders
within the Six Nations Confederation. This relationship of Nation's leadership
systems, the uniqueness of the staff, the NAILS Council, including members of
the Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Mohawk, Seneca and Tuscarora Nations, makes NAILS
part of local Native American communities. In part, success of NAILS can be attributed
to the fact that services and programs are conducted from mobile offices to provide
maximum coverage to American Indians with disabilities who live on the region's
three reservations, in area cities and rural communities. A portable
communication system including a toll free telephone number, access to the internet
and cell phone linkage between staff, provides consumers and staff immediate access
to each other, while ensuring complete confidentiality.
