Hi, Nancy.

Here is a good resource on designing accessible AngularJS applications:
http://simplyaccessible.com/article/spangular-accessibility/

And here is a library developed by folks at Deque that claims to assist
with making accessible AngularJS applications:
https://github.com/dequelabs/ngA11y

Using ngAria helps, but, obviously, is not sufficient, in and of itself:
https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/accessibility

As to Bootstrap, I'd make sure to use:
https://github.com/paypal/bootstrap-accessibility-plugin

I have been working on developing an AngularJS and Bootstrap Intranet
application as a testbed for making accessible single page applications and
I, personally, think it can be done, if one is thoughtful.

I'd be interested to hear what others think.

Best,
Rob
