Bryan's right that there is a lot to consider when designing an accessible carousel.

One approach that I haven't seen discussed too much is to name the slides with text instead of numbers or other ambiguous identifiers. This helps the user understand what the options are even without operating the carousel.

For example, see:
http://www.bell.ca/Accessibility_services
http://www.economist.com/ (does something similar but has some other accessibility issues)

Cheers,
