Sure, if the developers go the extra mile to make the AJAX
accessible.


http://webaim.org/techniques/ajax/

Elements need to be accessible to the keyboard and the
screen reader; they need to have roles assigned in non-native
elements artificially created with span and div; there needs to
be WAI-ARIA as appropriate; especially on dynamic elements;
cognitive accessibility needs to be taken into account when the
webpage is made to act in a nonstandard fashion which may be
unfamiliar to the user; etc.
