Needs Assessment:
Summary of the problem.
Audit is conducted to check the level of facilities for the disabled people in the University campus. Starting from the Web Content, On-Campus Marketing, access to the campus, building entry and accessibility and areas around the campus. The topic has been selected to check the experience of the disabled person in the university and to improve the areas for which services and equipments are needed.
This project aims to address, each and every detail which aid disabled person to access the facilities in the campus. The facilities availed by the disabled person is different from the regular persons in the campus. Like, use of lift, emergency services, access to the wheel chair is required for every disabled person.

Background and mini literature review:
Finding the suitable postsecondary institute for the disabled is difficult, not all the universities are equipped for the disabled students.
