«In 2023 we engaged with the team at EnableMe to support Open Inclusion with global research we were running on disability representation. EnableMe were very responsive and supported us throughout the survey design and delivery. They managed the interpretation into German that was both culturally as well as linguistically suitable for the communities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. They then worked closely with their community to engage a significant number of respondents to the survey within the timeframes required and with high quality responses. We really enjoyed and appreciated the professionalism of the engagement throughout the research process.»
