I would refer you to the W3C Accessible Rich Internet Application specification:
http://www.w3.org/tr/wai-aria
There are also a number of supporting documents that can be found in the following website:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/
One of the biggest issues and most difficult for web application developers to understand is supporting the keyboard.
Here is a link to the AOL DHTML style guide to provide information on the keyboard support needed by specific widgets:
http://dev.aol.com/dhtml_style_guide
Here are some widget examples using ARIA and the associated keyboard shortcuts:

I suggest you try to use an existing web widget toolkit that already supports accessibility like Dojo:

Hope this helps. It is easier to design the accessibility in than to add it later.

Subject: [WebAIM] factors effecting accessibility for accessibility.
Dear all,
I am supposed to share some knowledge with my team about the factors which effect design when we follow WCAG 2.0. To be clear What are the factors or guidelines we should consider when we do accessibility for any website according to WCAG 2.0 level AA in respect with design.
Thanks & regards.
