Visually Impaired Users

Are there any design tips people might have for designing SilverLight web sites that will be universally accessible, including by, amongst others, visually impaired users? My only option at present appears to be running a parallel development using standard tools (HTML, CSS, etc.). Many thanks

Re: Visually Impaired Users

Silverlight 2 Beta 2 is supposed to expose the entire control tree using the same methods as the browser, thus making the application contents usable by screen readers and similar technologies.  I don't know a link off hand but if you search for Silverlight Accessibility you will find information about this.
