Ref the Special eduactional needs and Disabilities Act.

It is similar in UK and the States - and has legal implications if you have a site that a person needs to access and can't but is also a low level civil offence for some reason.
Many Blind and dyslexic folk use screen readers - such as Jaws, so when you have got your site running I think there are sites that will evaluate it it for you - Bobby springs to mind - but they never give a 100% clear bill of health so don't beat yourself in to a pulp when it tells you no way hosay!
