Hi WebAIM have articles about Accessibility.

I do agree an actual image map would be a step backward. Here is one alternative: <http://www.alistapart.com/articles/imagemap> Stuart Robertson wrote, in that December 2003 article: "I thought about image maps. They were horribly outdated" As some replies have suggested, there are more techniques that are fairly accessible under a variety of conditions. Should you decide to make the attempt to satisfy your client, perhaps you could return here with a mock-up and a description of what you want to achieve? I feel sure we could help, given a specific problem to tackle. Good luck with your efforts.
