Innovative Wise have signed a memorandum of understanding with DASS Solutions. The memorandum aims to unify the work of both entities in promoting improved education, employment, and living standards for people with disabilities (people of determination).

Innovative Wise delivers a wide range of consultancy services in support of people of determination, including inclusive education services, inclusive employment services, specialised procurement, and training services. We are distinguished from our competitors in that we have actual hands-on experience in working directly with people of determination. We are highly aware of their needs and the means and methods to facilitate meaningful education and employment, diversification of educational methods, innovation in teaching, learning, employment, and Special Educational Needs (SEN) procurement based on learner needs.

DASS Solutions is a turnkey accessibility solutions provider in the Middle-East. Accessibility, universal design, inclusive employment, and other concepts are not difficult. However, they are broad, far-reaching concepts that require specialist expertise. DASS Solutions supports public and private organisations from the moment accessibility is placed on the agenda and guides their efforts throughout their journey to an inclusive workplace and society.

The terms of the memorandum include collaboration to ensure the provision of comprehensive services for people of determination and those with accessibility needs, based on the leading expertise of both Innovative Wise and DASS Solutions consultants.

Sana Al Hashmi, CEO of Innovative Wise said; “The signing of this MOU with DASS Solutions represents a true step forward for people of determination, locally, regionally, and internationally. As a company that is driven by our passion to support people of determination and our resolve to align ourselves with market leaders, we are truly proud to partner with DASS Solutions, a champion in promoting accessibility for people of determination of all disability classifications”.

Mike Moudawar, Managing Director of DASS Solutions said, “Accessibility and inclusion are high on the agendas of regional governments. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai recently announced wide-ranging policies and regulations meant to strengthen the rights of persons of determination. The rest of the GCC is closely following suit, especially Saudi Arabia. This collaboration with Innovative Wise will allow both of our organisations to better deliver in this sector”.

Sharon Elaine Keegan, Managing Partner and Senior Consultant at Innovative Wise added; “The partnership established today between DASS Solutions and Innovative Wise allows us to expand our reach as consultants, enhancing our client experience even further and effecting meaningful changes for people of determination, facilitating their educational, social and economic inclusion”.

Elie Ghoussoub, Director – Accessibility, Safety, and Inclusion Consultancy at DASS Solutions added, “Our operational capabilities in accessibility in the built and digital environments uniquely complement Innovative Wise’s capabilities in the educational sphere for people of determination. We look forward to working together to further this sector’s achievements and support the objectives set by the leadership of the UAE”.
