Thanks for the name check Josh.

The admin screens in WordPress have improved over the last few years, but
it is true to say that there are areas that can be difficult for some users
- specifically screen reader users, and keyboard only users. As far as I
know however, there are no things that it's impossible to do.

The challenge is that new admin functionality is being introduced with each
successive WP release, and each piece of functionality is often created by
different groups or individuals - some of whom have a less than complete
idea around accessibility. This is the nature of open source projects.

The Make WordPress Accessible Team is very small, and they are all
volunteers. Rian, who Josh mentioned, organises tests of the various admin
functions from time to time and she welcomes comments from anyone -
including AT users. Each of the bits of feedback received contributes to
improvements - but things do take a while to percolate through.
