If you’re reading this page, you probably know that LaTeX is basically a plain text format in which “special” commands are inserted to instruct a “compiler” on how to render the text. But weird as it is, generating an accessible artifact out of this (theoretically highly accessible) format is… Well… Hard! No solution can give you a perfect results, and many times the option is to distribute the original source among with the produced artifact (generally speaking, a PDF document).
In this section you can find various resources to tackle different aspects of this problem, but beware that this is a very (maybe too) complex problem. If possible, my advice would be to investigate usage of alternative document formats (e.g. web pages), that can be made fully accessible, and without too many many efforts.
