ramification of disabling submit button until required fields are complete

Hello,
Are there any ramifications to screen readers users of disabling a form submit button until all required fields are complete? My only concern would be that they might overlook a required field and then be confused by not finding the submit. At least leaving the submit functional, an error message can let the user know they've missed a required field.

Thank you,
