Amanda Borer, VP of Customer Success, n2y
Company
IT ALL STARTED IN 1997
The n2y story began in 1997 when speech-language pathologist Jacquie Clark wanted to increase communication, comprehension, and socialization skills in her students in special education. Using current events, Jacquie created a supported newspaper, News-2-You®, a weekly newspaper cultivating literacy with current and relevant news. n2y launched Unique Learning System®, an online standards-based program that provides students with meaningful access to the general education curriculum. Soon after, SymbolStix PRIME® launched, making available an online search engine and materials creation platform with the most complete and current symbol set available anywhere.
N2Y’S “WHY”
Changing how special education is taught, n2y is proud to help educators and families inspire those moments of discovery and wonder. Celebrating two decades of being at the heart of learning, working side-by-side with educators to change the way students grow. Through their award-winning solutions, they’ve continued to evolve the way new approaches are developed to educate students with special needs and create solutions that are engaging, personalized, and confidence-building. That confidence can quickly turn into a lifelong love of learning. And that’s why n2y does what they do because they believe in the unique potential of every individual student.
