I find it tricky to make sure that all my blog posts conform to the requirement of screen readers. Images should have properly descriptive at tags. Links should be well-named and not open the link in a new page.I am sure that this list goes on from there. Some of these things could be standardized. There is already a WordPress plugin to check for broken links. Why not a plugin to check for improperly tagged images and improperly set up links?
I would write one, but I lack the skills. Fortunately, WordPress has set up a marketplace for suggestions, WordPress Ideas I have posted this suggection, Idea: Plugin to Ensure Accessiblility to Screen Readers.
I would love a plugin that would work like the Broken Links plug in. It would check all images, links and other media for all the right tags (e.g. the alt tag) to make the blog more accessible to screen readers.
If you have a moment, vote for my suggestion.

Is there a good WP plugin to render pages as “printer friendly” — minus the sidebar? That is a good accessibility feature for me, as it conserves eye-work and spatial memory, but it probably isn’t considered accessibility in a technical sense.
p.s. Just noticed the “Notify me via email” feature for comments here. Is that a WP plugin?
Tim, you’ve made a lot more progress than I have in finding good WP plugins!
The is a plug in call WP-Print, http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/, that is supposed to reformat posts for printing. I have it installed, but can’t find any link buttom/text for printing. The blurb: “Displays a printable version of your WordPress blog’s post/page. By Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan.”
I also have Subscribe2, “Notifies an email list when new entries are posted. By Matthew Robinson.” installed and Subscribe To Comments, “Allows readers to receive notifications of new comments that are posted to an entry. Based on version 1 from Scriptygoddess By Mark Jaquith”.
Perhaps I shoudl try to put together a post on unintentionally accessible plugins for WP. Any suggestiosn?
I am trying to get WP-Print working now. It is a bit tricky as you have to modify the theme. It does not help that the installation does not come with instructions. Let me know what you think.
I found the WP-Print instructions, so now it and a few other plugins are now working.
I have set up an ‘about the site’ page so tht anyone can see how I have set up WordPRess.
Thanks so much for the info, Tim. “About the Site” is a great idea. I’m running between meetings now at work. I’ll check it all out tonight.
p.s. the email notification feature is great!
Thanks. The email, print and views plugins were not so easy to install. I needed to edit several theme pages. I will be writing a post on why the print option (at least) should be integrated into WP for accessibility reasons.
