Hi again Sarah,
I've reviewed several of the examples (using JAWS) and there are accessibility issues with every one of them. You can contact me privately if you want to know what I found, but I won't post names here so as not to call out anyone on their work.
Accessibility issues in a nutshell:
1. color contrast
2. focus order
3. target size
4. graphics that should have been marked decorative
5. auto-advancing
6. missing instructions

8. correctly identifying interactive elements (button labels)
9. flashing
10. audio issues
I have a few examples of some accessible slide templates which I 'borrowed' from some of the PPT templates provided in your downloads section. I don't import the PPT slides though, since importing slides causes accessibility issues as well. But, some of the PPT examples are really nice and professional looking. :-)
