Don't know of any tools that check for Silverlight accessibility. Here are a
few tools for Flash:

ADesigner

Flashbug
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashbug/

Inspect32

Is it possible to make Silverlight accessible at all? Of course Flash and Silverlight will never be accessible on mobile devices and apple computers unless I'm mistaken.

I'd suggest using HTML5/JavaScript instead. Good luck!
