Hi Courtney,

An ARIA alert could possibly be used. It is supported by most major screen reading software, but I am not sure how each software treats an ARIA alert, so a non-AJAX solution may be best.

Aria Alert : http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/WD-wai-aria-20100916/roles#alert

More info: http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/#docmgt

The entire WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices document is a good read. Hope this helps.
