Accessible tools and resources that combat legal and institutional ambiguity about providing assistive technology may aid in providing a buffer for the difficult transition between secondary and post-secondary institutions. A website proposal was subsequently created to help visualize how these tools and resources may be designed ethically by implementing results from a survey similar to the one conducted in this study. The website would satisfy the WCAG 2.0 web accessibility standards and dynamically display the survey results, qualifying as an accessible, cohesive and refined search engine of accommodations by college for prospective students with disabilities.   To initially create an accessible design for the website, a "Web Accessibility Tutorial" was used to implement best practice solutions for meeting WCAG 2.0 requirements. Additionally, a quick reference page similar to the tutorial was used for standard WCAG 2.0 guidelines. These guidelines include implementations like labeling sections, headers, and object types clearly along with providing alternative text for images and other multimedia accessories. Other interesting aspects of accessible design are user navigation, keyboard accessibility, timed content, and even the readability of the language on the page. The perspective of using devices such as screen readers and alternative keyboards played a significant role on the design and implementation of the website. WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a web accessibility specification which was used to "increase the accessibility of dynamic content and user interface components". Bootstrap was used along with it's accessibility plug-in, which was meant to assist with keyboard navigation (increasing accessibility of widgets like carousels and drop-down menus), compatibility with screen readers (using ARIA roles and states) and the color contrast of the web page.   Describe how we wrote our website, including accessibility  \subsection{Recommendations}  Due to the lack of federal funding backing the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is not possible for all post-secondary institutions to fund and procure the hardware and software required by all students. However, in order to progress towards compliance, colleges must put concerted effort into meeting legal and industry guidelines for AT services in post-secondary education. Outlined below is a phased plan for implementing an AT Lab. The first phase is designed for colleges that are building their first AT lab, and have limitations such as funding or space. The second phase is designed to help colleges identify key AT computer hardware and software that address a wide variety of needs. The final phase is designed to encourage colleges to approach AT services proactively, seeking the best devices and systems for students, rather than waiting for students to address inaccessibility. The services that At  each step step, devices  will identify are broken up into the five following categories: impaired vision, blindness, speech, mobility, and facilities. identified which can serve a variety of needs.  The category of impaired vision is defined as: any individual who has vision loss resulting in the diminished ability to discern basic shapes and/or colors at various distances. The category of impaired vision is further broken up into services that AT labs could accommodate for which include: large print keyboards, color filtering software, and screen enlargers. The requirements for an AT lab to reach their first step include an option for a large print keyboard for each computer; basic large print keyboards can be found at prices close to their normal print counterparts. Color filtering and screen enlargement can be achieved through the additional options on the Microsoft Windows operating system. Since most computer labs will offer the Windows operating system by default both of these options can be used without anything extra. In order to reach the second step AT labs need more advanced screen enlargement software such as ZoomText (Al Squared) or MAGic (Freedom Scientific) which both offer licensing plans specific to computer labs at post secondary institutions. The AT lab also needs 19 inch or larger monitors. In order to achieve the level three \subsubsection{Phase 1: Building  an AT lab would need everything previously mentioned and monitors above 23 inches in size. Lab}  The blindness category refers for the specific assistances that are \begin{itemize}  \item Dedicated, quiet space with strong lighting  \item At least one support staff during open hours  available to any AT user that is blind or has close to no vision.
