Hi Kakarla,
I believe that combo-boxes have historically been problematic for accessibility.
You may be able to implement some workarounds to improve functionality, but the advice over the years has typically been to use checkboxes instead.
Select2 looks like a promising alternative, but I've not used it myself.
