Basically make the program useable just using a keyboard.
Use standard UI controls and make sure all is correctly labeled.
In case of Mac OS X and/or iOS there is a lot information for developers on the 
Apple developer web pages on how to make an app accessible.
Same applies to Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft have created lots of info regarding this on MSDN or whatever the 
developer site is called these days.

This would depend upon the type of programme you're working with.  I'm not an 
expert but I  believe there are accessibility options built-into the Microsoft 
Visual C++ compiler.  Somebody like Travis might be able to tell you more.  But 
if he's a developer who is serious about accessibility, he should be able to 
find what he needs on the Microsoft resources.

Oh, And by the way, your signature is longer than your messages. :)
