That assertion is not entirely correct, I'd say. Screen readers sit on
top of the exact same program (the browser) that "regular" users use.

to make your site work equally well for an SR and non-SR user, other
than properly applying web standards and being mindful of general
accessibility considerations (which extend well beyond SR specific code).
