Do those files by default conform to screen reader accessibility standards 
or can such files be made to conform to screen reader accessibility 
standards?  Since adobe was responsible for creating pdf files Adobe has 
screen reader accessibility standards on its website.

I don't actually know anything about this, but the quick answer is: Org
uses LaTeX to generate PDFs, so PDFs produced by Org will conform to
those standards to the extent that PDFs produced by LaTeX do.  

For any particular document, I would guess that a more detailed answer
depends on both the content of the document and the particular LaTeX
processing pipeline which produces the PDF (pdflatex? latex, then
dvipdf? etc.).

Hope that helps a bit, however tiny a bit it may be.

Best,
Richard

Could you point out these standards (direct links)?  My bet would be
that LaTeX (by default) /might/ have some problems with these standards
(in particular, due to peculiarities of the default fonts), but (a) it
might be realtively easy to fix it and/or (b) writing a ConTeXt
(http://contextgarden.net/) exporter might also help (though again, this
is only a guess).
