I work for an assistive tech charity. We're certainly pleased that the Raspberry Pi Foundation has integrated Orca, but Distance Computer Comfort - our free adaptive computer technical support service - hasn't had any calls about this. I also don't know what integration testing the Foundation has done.
Jutta'a group at OCADu is certainly good, but they're more research-based than client focussed. I know that individuals at CNIB are all about Raspberry Pi solutions, but corporately I don't think they're there yet. I'm in BC this week then Gatineau next but would be happy to chat when I'm back.
