  ADA, which was enacted in 1990, "prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in the areas of accessibility, employment, public services, public accommodations, transportation and communication" (Pub. L. 101-336, 1990). This means all post-secondary institutions are legally required to provide all students with equal access to academic materials, facilities, or other tools necessary to graduate. It does not specifically define technological accommodations, however it provides legal basis for students to individually request accommodations from colleges.  In a 2005 unfunded mandate survey provided by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, 38 U.S. cities provided the total reoccurring annual cost of upholding ADA, \$24,445,506 (ref). (U.S. Conference of Mayors, 2005).  A reasonable and vital goal for the U.S. public is to urge government funding within legal mandates like ADA, which can often require cities and public institutions to undergo large renovations and projects, discouraging real progress when there is a funding deficit. \subsection{Initial Research}
