Do2Learn began in 1996 through a National Institutes of Health Small Business Innovative Research grant. Our team searches out the most talented and creative teachers and clinicians across the world. These gifted individuals work with our technical experts to transfer their knowledge into formats that we can make available to you.
Since beginning, we have grown into a world-wide resource with over 11 million hits a month. While based in North Carolina, approximately half of our users are from outside of the U.S. Thousands of sites link to us and we can be easily found on most search engines using topics such as 'picture cards', 'facial expressions', and 'job tips'. We hope you find our resources helpful and pass on our link to others.
We believe that simply telling busy teachers, parents, and professionals what they should be doing is not enough. If we explain how to devise a visual communication system using picture cards, we provide free cards to get you started.

When we present the Teacher Toolbox on how to adapt a classroom for children with special needs, we provide resources for behavior management plans, literacy tools, and the materials to create everything in your classroom.

Our approach is to use the latest technology and expert guidance to create innovative and usable solutions.

Learn about DiagnoseFirst, our newest project to help teachers and clinicians recognize the symptoms of ASD.

OPERATION SHINE DAY CAMPS are a great way for new campers to have the camp experience without the uneasiness of spending the night away from home. We fit as many activities as possible into these fun-filled days, such as: swimming, fishing, archery, crate stacking, sensory activities, and more! As with our weekend camps, each camper has 2 big campers who have been carefully selected just for them, the volunteers have been trained prior to camper arrival, and nursing staff and other professionals are on-site that day. This is also a great time for campers who may have more needs than a full weekend may allow."
