Agree ... a mock form with labels for input would be fast to create and replicate a true form ... and be perceivable by some form of AT.

And if you did a screen shot, it would be helpful if you described it, such that someone who can't see it would have all of the same info conveyed via text.

I'd personally vote for a "mock" form that had read-only edit boxes with proper labels, disabled but existing radio buttons/checkboxes, and so forth.

I've seen forms presented like this, though I can't recall a source-example off-hand.

Wouldn't the real form, but with controls disabled, be the easiest "one size fits all" approach?
