PPD: DO-IT Extension

HRD-9550003 *BOWEN* 华盛顿大学于1992年获得国家科学基金会的三年资助，以开展活动，招募和保留残疾学生参加科学，工程和数学（SEM）课程。 该项目被称为DO-IT（残疾，机会，互联网和技术）。 DO-IT帮助残疾高中生实现了他们的学术和职业潜力，并过渡到SEM的大学学习; SEM教师变得更加容易接受，并能够将残疾学生纳入他们的课程;父母，服务提供者和公众已经更加意识到残疾人在SEM领域的潜在贡献和特殊需求。 建议继续开展的具体DO-IT活动包括：（1）暑期学习计划，让残疾高中生探索SEM领域并学习大学过渡技能和策略;（2）辅导计划，让残疾高中生与SEM学术课程和职业中的成功榜样配对;（3）互联网接入，用于交流和信息检索;（4）向教员介绍残疾意识;（5）过渡和适应技术讲习班;（6）通过电子资源、印刷材料和录像带传播与残疾有关的计划和信息。 DO-IT的工作建议扩展到：（1）使本科校园SEM课程更容易为残疾人所用;（2）帮助残疾学生顺利完成大学学业;（3）帮助学生过渡到就业和研究生学习;（4）增加对残疾学生的推广工作;（5）确定导致大学毕业和就业的因素;（6）加大宣传力度。

HRD-9550003 *BOWEN* The University of Washington was awarded a three-year grant in 1992 from the National Science Foundation to undertake activities to recruit and retain students with disabilities in science, engineering, and mathematics (SEM) programs. The project is called DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology). DO-IT has helped high school students with disabilities realize their academic and career potential, and transition to college studies in SEM; SEM faculty have become more receptive and capable of including students with disabilities in their courses; and parents, service providers, and the public have become more aware of the potential contributions and special needs in SEM fields of individuals with disabilities. Specific DO-IT activities proposed for continuation include: (1) summer study programs which allow high school students with disabilities to explore SEM fields and learn college transition skills and strategies; (2) a mentoring program that matches high school students with disabilities with successful role models in SEM academic programs and careers; (3) Internet access for communication and information retrieval; (4) disability awareness presentations to faculty; (5) transition and adaptive technology workshops; and (6) dissemination of program and disability- related information through electronic resources, printed materials, and videotapes. DO-IT efforts are proposed to be extended to: (1) make undergraduate campus SEM programs more accessible to individuals with disabilities; (2) help students with disabilities successfully complete college; (3) help students transition to employment and graduate studies; (4) increase outreach efforts to students with disabilities; (5) identify factors leading to college completion and employment in SEM; and (6) increase dissemination activities.
