Yes, and yes.
You can get demo versions of Window-Eyes (accessible to Flash), JAWS, and Home Page reader. A Google search will give you the links to the software publishers.
As far as having users of assistive technology access your sites to demo, suggest posting a request for testers on this list, or any number of ones dedicated to Section 508 and/or visual impairments. Check out TRACE http://trace.wisc.edu for good discussion groups to consider. I've also cc'd a friend who can provide more leads to testers for you.

assume). Is there a source of a "good" and "low cost" screen
reader? Or, is there a source that I can use to have someone
actually test my pages to make sure that they are accessible?
