Careful with the ARIA stuff. It is useful but not always 
necessary. Screen reading software is aware of sliders etc. and 
may already pass on the relevant information to the user. The 
only way to go about it is to have things tested by real users of 
_various_ screen readers (Dolphin, NVDA, VoiceOver etc.) You 
don't wanna waste time making a website accessible only to find 
out that the screen reader already understood it without your 
help.
