I'd like to know how to make an ajax web app accessible.

If something changes you can change a background color on an element for a visual user. Is there something similar you can do for someone using a screener reader.

Screen readers are only part of the problem. A colorblind user might not even notice that something changed. :)

I'll definitely cover some tips on how this works. I have a chapter in http://www.pragpub.com/titles/bhh5/ that shows how to use HTML5's ARIA support to alert the user to feedback.
