There aren't any venders that specialize, you have to look around for it.  
Radio Shack  has things that talk and they didn't ever realize it would help us 
as well.  

Snap-On has torque wrenches that beep.  I made my own probe tester by taking 
the light out and stuffing a piece of tin foil in the opening.  Then in the 
ground wire I built a box, again from Radio Shack, where I took a kit box and a 
3 to 18 volt buzzer they have in stock.  That ran in series with the ground 
wire and then when I push the probe through the insulation a buzzer goes off 
instead of the light going on.  I lost more of those things in the dealerships 
because guys that worked under the dashboard liked them since they couldn't see 
the light either.  

One web sight you might want to look at is

They are a bit pricey but when it's a limited and specialized market they can 
have their way with pricing.

  Hey,

  I am looking for some information regarding accessble equipment for 
  blind students entering our automotive program here at Metropolitan 
  Community College in Kansas City. Are they resources or vendors that 
  specialize in this.
