On Saturday, September 23rd, NYN Media published a piece about ICD’s new fully accessible GED test center titled, “GED test center for people with disabilities opens in NYC.”
ICD’s President of Development and Communications states that,
“We are a workforce development agency for people with disabilities. So our ultimate outcome is to help people not just to get jobs, but to find career paths. And the very first barrier to being hired is a diploma or a GED. So for those who are looking to take this test, this is a life changing moment.”
The author goes on to say that,
'“For the institute, it’s not just about providing a facility for people with disabilities to take the exam, it’s about helping them obtain the tools they need to overcome any obstacles in their path towards a career. They work one-on-one and do tutorials for those whose learning disabilities are not addressed by mainstream programs. Whether it be test taking strategies or even learning computer literacy in order to take the exam as it is administered digitally, ICD provides test takers with in depth assessments to help address all of their needs.”
