This is a wonderful electronic community of high school students and young
adults who have a wide variety of disabilities. They are all
college-bound, in college or have graduated from college and have
participated in the DO-IT Scholars program, which includes multiple summer
study sessions at the University of Washington. We cannot allow access to
this list or the messages sent to this closed forum to those outside of
the project for confidenciality reasons. However, we do have an open list
on which the Scholars are alwo subscribed. You can join
