The government has put into place several initiatives to support “people of determination” (Note: “The UAE refers to the people with disabilities as ‘people of determination’ in recognition of their achievements in different fields.”). These include: the “Rest Assured” Initiative which “consists of five core programmes . . .  to respond to the demands of the people of determination;” the “Kheta platform” intended “to facilitate educational and rehabilitation services to the people of determination with an aim to improve the quality of such services;” “[p]recautionary measures for people of determination” intended “to help parents and caregivers” of  people of determination “to overcome the challenges surrounding them, and to support them morally to continue their daily life in safety and security;” and the “home testing programme . . . for people of determination who are unable to reach testing centres easily.”
