Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler founded and directed Accessible Technology Services—which includes the DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center and the IT Accessibility Team (ITAT) from 1992 through 2023 at the University of Washington. These dynamic groups continue to promote (1) the development of self-determination skills, use of mainstream and assistive technology, and other interventions to support the success of students with disabilities in postsecondary education and careers and (2) the universal design (UD) of learning opportunities, physical spaces, websites, documents, multimedia, and services to ensure that they are accessible to, usable by, and inclusive of individuals with disabilities. In her retirement, Dr. Burgstahler teaches disability studies courses, publishes articles, delivers presentations, and engages in part-time work. sherylburgstahler@outlook.com
