ASSIST! to Independence
ASSIST! to Independence is a community based, American Indian owned and operated non-profit agency that was established by and for people with disabilities and chronic health conditions to help fill some of the gaps in service delivery. The agency serves as a consumer driven community action program to facilitate general awareness of disability related issues, community access, education, information sharing, assistive technology access, advocacy, and independent living that is culturally appropriate for American Indians. This is done through a comprehensive collaborative network which provides support and resources that promote the active participation of each individual in their self-care management. Program staff work to provide the tools necessary for individuals to make informed choices and decisions; to maintain a maximum level of independent living; to achieve equality of opportunity, inclusion and integration in the community and society; and for economic and social self-sufficiency.
