DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) was founded in 1992 at the University of Washington by Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler. A collaboration between UW Information Technology and the Colleges of Engineering and Education, DO-IT has spent over three decades removing barriers for disabled students pursuing higher education and STEM careers.
DO-IT operates multiple initiatives including DO-IT Scholars (a paid summer academy for Washington State high school students with disabilities), AccessSTEM (increasing disability inclusion in STEM fields), and AccessComputing (supporting students pursuing computing careers). Its website offers hundreds of free publications, videos, and knowledge-base articles on accessibility, accommodation, and universal design for learning, available to anyone nationwide.
DO-IT serves students with physical, sensory, learning, and chronic health disabilities who are transitioning to or enrolled in college, with particular emphasis on STEM pathways. Its educator and employer resources extend the reach of the programme nationally across all disability types.
