Accessibility - Accurately reading tables using Screen Readers

Question

How can you best format tables so they are 508 compliant and accessible for ALL readers. Typically, the screen readers are reading content/text from left to right but often in tables you want to read based on how the table is formatted.&nbsp;
Sometimes you want the reader to read a Column Heading and the rows associated with that column.&nbsp;
Any Suggestions?&nbsp;
