Thank you for this Chantelle, I discovered with sighted assist that holding down control and swiping two fingers away from you is a feature that is set within System Preferences under Trackpad. It wasn't working on my Macbook Pro even though the checkbox was checked. I unchecked it and then rechecked it and I guess it works now. I'll try the same with my client today and hope for the same result. I'll also have her try turning off Zoom and using the method you described as well. Thank you so much for your response.
