The Queens Courier published an article on ICD’s School to Success” initiative that is designed to help youth with disabilities transition from school to career success. The piece highlights both of our partner schools, with a focus on Richmond Hill High School.

In the article, Richmond Hill’s Principal Neil Ganesh states,

Richmond Hill High School is pleased to help launch this new initiative. It offers long-term, holistic support to our students through their high school years and beyond that, we believe will lead to greater self-determination, better economic mobility, and improved overall well-being.

Additionally, Elyse Cosma, Richmond Hill’s Transition Coordinator, says,

We have always tried to set up our students so they have a plan upon graduation. A major reason for this partnership is that while our students with disabilities leave with a plan, they struggle with following their plan through due to a lack of that personal guidance. ICD is meant to provide that personal connection that will follow up with them after they leave Richmond Hill High.
