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

Hi Donald,
Yes! Silverlight can be made accessible. Here are a few links that you can
refer to achieve this:
1. WCAG 2.0 Techniques for Silverlight:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-TECHS/silverlight.htm l
2. Silverlight Accessibility Overview (msdn):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc707824(v=vs.95).aspx
3. Quick start guide for building accessible Silverlight applications:

ibility/making-silverlight-applications-accessible
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
