The Forum published an article titled, “Group Launches First Phase of Planned Citywide Initiative to Help Youth with Disabilities Transition to Careers.” The piece highlights the launch of ICD’s new "School to Success" program in two NYC high schools, including Richmond Hill High School in Queens (also featured in the piece) and Discovery High School in the Bronx.
In the piece, The Forum states,
With the start of the new school year, ICD now has on-site at each school a full-time “Navigator” available to work with any student who has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan to prepare the student to make the jump to college or vocational training and embark upon a career. The Navigators, whose services are available at no cost to students or schools, will guide students around obstacles and over hurdles as they work to build skills needed to launch fulfilling careers.
