The Hay River Dene Needs Assessment is a cooperative pilot project to ensure opportunities and information for improved service for blind and visually impaired aboriginal peoples.
The project is motivated by CNIB's desire to offer equitable and accessible services to blind and visually disabled aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories that is consistent with their needs and belief systems. The goals of this project are to identify the needs of aboriginal people with vision problems in the South MacKenzie Region; and to develop a planning model to serve as a guideline to improve delivery of the CNIB core services throughout the NWT.
The project addresses the need to gain specific information about the nature and extent of disability among aboriginal people in order to focus and tailor programs and avoid fragmented services; and the importance of data collection processes being community-based and carried out in close consultation with the community members.
