Accommodations are made for people with learning challenges to take the GED.  Start with the ACE website (officials responsible for administering the test).  Tests, including practice tests, can be administered by audio-cassette:

They will help point you in the direction of your nearest testing facility so that the proper forms can be filled out.

He will have to fill out Form L-15, which requires documentation of his diagnosis.  The L-15 is described in detail here:

He should also contact the local community college or adult ed center offering GED classes.  By law, under IDEA, accommodations for his disability must be made in giving instruction as well as in testing.  So they should have audio-cassette materials available for his use, or be able to refer him to appropriate resources.  

It's important that he take official documentation of his condition with him when requesting accommodations.

I was told that audio books would be furnished through the state education dept. I'm 23 and feel like your husband but am going to try.

Unfortunately, dyslexia is not only visual, it involves auditory response too. That means the audiobook may not be as helpful as one would think. The best bet is to find a tutor or a class that can give him new tools for spelling and reading. My husband and son are dyslexic, you just have to find a method that works for you.
