4.8 does have some accessibility features and 4.10 brings more (like
orca support for the visually impaired). So, it is not yet up to par
with gnome in terms of accessibility, but then again gnome would still
be an option. Whether switching desktops (or choosing a different on
at install time) would seem too difficult for those that need
accessibility is certainly an open question.
Best wishes,
