Testimonial:

D.I.C.E. looked at what happened on jobs because of my learning disability, and what jobs to stay away from. It looked at what things I did well, and what help I need to keep a job. This helped explain my situation to the job developer. The counsellor also explained the D.I.C.E. report to me in a way I could understand. She respected me and understood how I felt discriminated against because of my disability.
