You are very lucky that you have somebody who can help you rub in the accessibility message to the rest of the students on the course :-) You might want to try "swell" paper <http://tinyurl.com/2vc3cl> You can print/draw/photocopy onto it like normal paper, then run it through a "fuser" that makes the appropriate sections raise up so you can feel them. However, both paper and fuser are fairly expensive. It can involve some experimentation to get right, and the detail is not wonderful. Some folk love it. Others find it completely useless. I would also go and talk to the student *now*. They will have dealt with similar situations in the past and may well have a preferred solution. More importantly they may have tried things in the past that don't work. BTW Logo is a general purpose programming language created for educational use - see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Logo_programming_language>. Blind developers use the same programming languages as everybody else.
