The DO-IT Center was founded at the University of Washington in 1992 by Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler with a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Since its inception, DO-IT's mission has been to increase the successful participation of people with disabilities in postsecondary education and careers at local, regional, national (within the United States) and international levels.<ref>Burgstahler, S, [http://www.washington.edu/doit/Brochures/Programs/ar93.html "DO-IT Center Annual Report 1992 - 1993"], DO-IT Center, 1993.
