I don't know if there is a code-level API for this but you can use AppleScript to prompt for enabling it:
tell application "System Events"
if not UI elements enabled then
set UI elements enabled to true
end if
end tell
Also, although this does have the side-effect of enabling access for assistive devices, I'm not sure if it is the same semantically and e.g. is guaranteed to always do this in the future.
