The one person I've heard(ever)  talk about Silverlight and
accessibility is Saqib Shaikh. He seems to be working on Bing now, but
he's a place to start your search.

His website is http://www.saqibshaikh.com/

His Twitter account is http://twitter.com/saqibs

refer to achieve this:

1. WCAG 2.0 Techniques for Silverlight:

2. Silverlight Accessibility Overview (msdn):

3. Quick start guide for building accessible Silverlight applications:

4. Hands-on exercise for making Silverlight applications accessible:

I don't have any experience with Silverlight development, but the new WCAG 2.0 Techniques include a section on Silverlight: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/silverlight.html
