<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Lisa, do you know if your patron has a reading or learning disability of some sort? If so, there may be a few options.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I know Learning Ally has audio books to help study for the GED. There is a fee for this service and I believe proof of a learning disability is needed in order
to sign up but I don’t know the specifics of this. <a href="https://www.learningally.org">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Also, the Braille and Talking Book Library could potentially be a resource. We do serve patrons with reading disabilities, but it does have to be certified by
a doctor in order to get the patron signed up. If he qualifies the service is completely free. I don’t believe we have GED books in our collection but we can usually get books from Learning Ally for free for our patrons.
