About Rashid Center For People Of Determination

Making a difference in the lives of students of determination, The Rashid Centre for students of Determination, was established in 1994. Since opening, we have been faced with many challenges to achieve the State’s strategy and the vision of its wise government, which did not only look at this category but also created a vision of faith, empowerment, employment and integration for the students. We have accelerated the development of our ever evolving Centre, which supports children from the age of 4 years, with a variety of disabilities including, physical, learning, and Sensory. We are proud that we offer a wide-ranging curriculum and a therapeutic approach that includes vocational training that has led to some of our students gaining employment. The public and private sectors have continuously supported us on our journey, through donations, sponsorship, volunteering and supporting new initiatives as the Centre has continued to grow and adapt over these many years, to which we are extremely grateful. Through our many years of experience in the field of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, the Centre has been able to develop our therapeutic and educational programs in accordance with ongoing research and best practice, utilizing the expertise of our dedicated and well qualified staff along with working in partnership with Universities and other organisations, which have all contributed to make the Rashid Centre what it is today. Our aim is to deliver services that set high standards and expectations for children with special needs residing in the UAE, and to develop awareness and an understanding of disability issues in the Gulf Community.
