Soyland Access to Independent Living or S.A.I.L. in Decatur is dedicated to providing at-home living services to people with disabilities. The five core tenets that SAIL operates on are advocacy, independent living skills, development, peer counseling, and transition services.
To break down and explain these benefits of SAIL, Betty Watkins, Rural Outreach Coordinator, spends her time placing individuals in safe positions, hearing the needs, and finding solutions for the people she represents.
Watkins says these services are not a “one size fits all”, a variety of different needs are covered through SAIL services.
Personal assistants are needed at SAIL and Watkins says the training and flexible work hours come with it.

Betty Watkins appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show live from our studios in Downtown Shelbyville.
