She stated that SCHS has issued a guide to the continuity of providing services with the aim of ensuring that it continues to be provided in an appropriate manner that meets the needs of its members, and ensures that it is not interrupted according to a work system based on three main precautionary themes: health and safety, activating the strategy of working remotely for employees and facilitating their mission, and media coverage and continuity of communication . 

Then, Al Yafie spoke about the stages of work, which are: the preparatory stage, the executive stage, and the safe return stage.

The Director of SCHS concluded, “We did not imagine one day that the world would change like this, and that we would virtually provide our services to people with disabilities, but we were able to achieve goals, overcome difficulties and face challenges with wise, successful leadership, persistence, determination, dedication, and teamwork, as well as setting alternative plans in preparation for crises that may face us in the future."
