Hi Diane, the screen reader should still be able to access layer content even if it is not a dialogue box or the user can't interact with the base layer.
Can you confirm that you have the layer contents in the correct order in the focus order or the slide. For example, if you have a button that is selected that reveals the layer, is the layer contents directly after the button that is selected?

Let me know.
