The only slight challenges we've had to date has been the use of the Accordion interaction, labelled graphics and multi-select quiz questions (radio buttons are fine).
Clever, thoughtful design ahead of any development taking place, i.e. designing for accessibility first, really helps us avoid any potential issues (eg no drag and drop activities etc) - an approach we use regardless of tool.
