Hi Bill, I had a blind student at my college, but he was self-contained. I had no accommodations to make for him, other than emailing out Word documents and Finale files as handouts in advance instead of photocopies in class. He had another student helping him but just the same he was exceptional. I will contact him and ask if he has any pointers.
