25 Years at the
Heart of Learning

We Believe in the
Unique Potential
of Every Individual

It only takes one “aha!” moment—one moment of sheer joy—and a student’s life is transformed forever. n2y is proud to help inspire those moments, and we’re proud to celebrate 25 years at the heart of learning.

It All Started in 1997

The n2y story began in 1997 when speech language pathologist Jacquie Clark wanted to help her students in special education increase their communication, comprehension, and socialization skills. Jacquie created News2you®, a weekly newspaper designed to cultivate literacy development using current events and relevant news. As the way students learn evolved, so did n2y—transforming from print to digital to help individuals with special needs experience meaningful access to the world around them.

Transforming Special Education

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.
