• W289309366 abstract "The mission of National Association of Independent Living (NAIL) is to promote independent living for persons with severe disabilities. NAIL was founded by members of the National Rehabilitation Association (NRA) who believed that independent living (IL) concepts and practices developed in the 1970s, such as improving accessibility, providing supportive services, and facilitating control over one's own life, had great potential in serving persons with severe disabilities. They also were confident that IL concepts and practices could be used to enhance traditional rehabilitation practices. Finally, they were certain that the recognized and established rehabilitation community could further enhance independent living through their own professional and legislative capacities. Today, NAIL provides many opportunities for people in both the general and IL rehabilitation fields. NAIL offers opportunities to learn about and promote new concepts and practices. It provides a bridge between rehabilitation practitioners--general and IL--and administrators who are committed to independent living. It also provides opportunities for all these individuals to play leadership roles in this growing field. Most important, it offers persons with disabilities and consumers of IL services a chance to work as a team with practitioners and administrators to facilitate independent living. Historical Overview After 7 years of planning, NAIL became officially recognized as an NRA division in 1980. Cofounders Lucille (Nickle) Newsom, Abe Jaffee, Richard Nichol, Lois Schwab, Charles Haines, and Walter George were from a variety of organizations and states. However, they had all long recognized the need for persons with severe disabilities to gain their independence and were aware of the severe physical and social restrictions that blocked the participation of persons with disabilities in society. They felt the need for free access and for affordable residential, transportation, education, and employment opportunities. At the same time, they faced the reality that persons with disabilities had to control their own lives if they were really to function independently. The founders' desire was not to develop another organization but to work as a team with persons with disabilities who sought independence. Their dream was to create an environment in which all had equal opportunity. In the early 1970s, NAIL's leaders were concerned about how their dreams could become reality. They formed an organization based on current philosophies (deinstitutionalization and normalization) and called it the National Congress for Homebound Institutionalized. This organization served as a springboard for NAIL. However, the organization underwent a number of changes. Newer philosophies and ideas were integrated to improve their knowledge base. New members were recruited to strengthen the organization. The outdated name was changed to NAIL. Members developed a set of bylaws and used the common organization model used by other NRA divisions. Then, NAIL began to operate like other divisions. They developed a mission and goals and began to act. Over the years, NAIL's mission and goals were updated to reflect current developments in independent living. Some changes were reflected in NAIL's program and in a new logo. The logo contains the initial letters of the National Association of Independent Living, NAIL. Three figures, reflecting various disabilities, join hands. Mission NAIL's mission is to encourage persons with and without disabilities to work as a team to facilitate independent living. This mission can be accomplished by improving community environments, removing barriers, creating new options, and enabling persons with severe disabilities to control their own lives. The Goals as stated in the NAIL Bylaws are: Goal 1. To promote the philosophy of independent living to help improve service delivery and community opportunities for persons with severe disabilities; Goal 2. …" @default.
