Web Accessibility: text resize

An in house development team is building a website and we were wondering what from a Web Accessibility standpoint is a best practice when it comes to resizing text. Most browsers have a menu item to resize text, but not all users may know it is there or may have difficulty reaching it. Some websites resort to offering resizing text via screen buttons. These buttons would need to be programmed.

There are pros and cons to each approach, but is there a best practice for text resizing?
