As far as I know no screen reader can run javascript or dynamically alter the DOM. Any features you add to a site using javascript or DOM scripting are therefore not 508 compliant, and the only way your site itself can be compliant is if the site is still 100% useable with javascript turned off. If turning javascript off at any point breaks your site then compliance with accessibility standards will be impossible.
