Hello. My company recently ran a quick test of umbraco with screen readers. Some of our customers are visually impaired, and so we hoped that the user interface for editors would be accessible, but unfortunately we ran into a bit of a snag. Most of it seems to work well, but the screen reader couldn't find the arrows for showing subpages, see image.
This is naturally a bit of a big deal, since if you can't access the subpages it's very difficult to do any editing of said pages. I plan to have a look to see if I can do anything about it, but I thought it best to post it here as well.

Btw, we used Jaws 12 for the test.
