Hi Chad, I used the Paypal a11y add-on for a recent project and found it pretty straight forward. It doesn't affect how you use Bootstrap because it just tacks on the aria roles after page load.
I actually don't think this plugin is all that necessary. Here's my thing: if you're using Bootstrap responsibly (http://acrl.ala.org/techconnect/?p=4439) you will use a custom build that doesn't include components you aren't using. Bootstrap 3 is already fairly accessible out of the box, and I would argue that keeping your dependencies small is more valuable than tacking on javascript. The questionable usability of modules like the carousel, collapse, popovers, and tooltips is worth rethinking before using a plugin that supports that accessibility. If you don't use them, you don't need the plugin. You can always add aria roles to the markup you use. Anyway, if you do use the plugin, it's really easy to integrate. You can concatenate your jquery, bootstrap.min, and bootstrap-accessibility.min into a single file - and like I said it doesn't change how you would approach Bootstrapping a site. I really like Paypal's Accessible HTML5 Video player, which they support really well. So I've nothing but good feels for their team.
