the problem with QML and Qt Quick is the level of abstraction.
The example you show below implements a “button” or similar, but it’s too low level for the accessibility framework to guess what you intend.
There is accessibility support built in for Qt Quick Controls. And you can also easily make your example accessible by adding a few properties, the docs are here:
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5-dev/qml-qtquick-accessible.html

I think the link above should get you started, let me know if you need more help or things don’t work.
Greetings,
Frederik
