About this resource

About

The DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center is based at the University of Washington and has operated since 1992. Its core mission is to increase participation of people with disabilities in postsecondary education, STEM fields, and computing careers — achieving greater-than-national-average outcomes for participants in STEM employment.

What It Does

DO-IT Scholars brings Washington State high school students with disabilities to the UW campus for summer study sessions that simulate college life and build self-advocacy skills. For students nationwide, DO-IT directs AccessSTEM and co-directs AccessComputing — programmes providing mentoring networks, conference funding, and research opportunities. The DO-IT website hosts hundreds of free articles, videos, and accommodation scenario guides for students, faculty, and employers, all freely downloadable.

Who It Helps

High school and college students with disabilities interested in STEM or computing careers, faculty and employers seeking practical accessibility guidance, and disability services professionals looking for evidence-based accommodation practices.
