What are some websites developers could look at for help in designing
their programs to be more accessable?
I'm not aware of such sites. I'm writing some information on my own
site about blind people's special devices (like braille
displays). Information about good website design and application
design wouldn't probably be that bad idea. The methods which make it
possible
to (possibly later) change applications to be accessible are commonly
so simple that many developers don't realise them. Of course there are
nifty
details (like where the treminal cursor should be located) which need special
attention. Programs which mess up algorithms and GUI
operations cannot be extended.
This may be of some help:

At a quick glance, this section might be a good starting point:
