David, of course you can make universally accessible ORG charts. Just use
IVEO Creator or Creator Pro, and that's it. You can make an org chart in
Creator, but the easiest thing is to use whatever software is convenient to
make org charts in and either export as SVG or create a SVG file with IVEO
Converter. Put these into Creator and add labels to any of the lines that
may help improve accessibility. And check to be sure that the process
hasn't broken any text spans. Then save it, and you have your chart.
Ablind person will need a touchpad to read your chart. And if they don't
have a ViewPlus embosser or some other easy way to make a tactile copy,
you'll need to send the tactile. But your chart is accessible to everybody,
even sighted people.

Subject: Accessible Org Charts
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
Many organizations, mine included, produce a so-called org chart, or
organizational chart. This is one of those things that shows positions and
people, and shows relationships -- who reports to whom.
These things are usually pretty graphical in nature. However, we are
looking for any software that will produce either an accessible version of
an org chart, or a separate accessible, and graphical version. Such a thing
probably doesn't exist, because of the graphical nature of these
presentations, however it never hurts to ask. We will probably have to
continue producing an accessible document by hand -- but .....
