Are you talking about the menu on the front-end not working well with screen-readers, or the admin area menu builder?

The WordPress accessibility team has an open bug for improving the admin menu builder for screen-reader users, and unfortunately there are no plugins that I know of that fixes this. Bug report: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/40678

If you're talking about the front-end, looking at the example link, it appears that Avada adds all the aria that should be there. I'm able to navigate through the menu using ChromeVox at least.
