University of Washington DO-IT Center records, 1993-2019

Established in 1992, DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internet working, and Technology) has worked to promote its success of the disabled community by educating faculty and staff members on better accommodation strategies. The intent is to ensure that everyone in the community is given equal opportunity to succeed. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Education Office of Post-secondary Education funded DO-IT by providing professional development materials to faculty and administrators.

DO-IT serves to increase the success of people with disabilities in challenging academic programs and careers; promote the application of universal design to physical spaces, information technology, instruction, and services; freely distribute publications and videos for use in presentations, exhibits, and the classroom; and provide resources for students with disabilities, K-12 educators, post-secondary faculty and administrators, librarians, employers, parents, and mentors.
