A lot of schools use the Oregon Project for Visually Impaired and Blind
Preschool Children. See attached. Look for the section "Fine Motor
Skills" http://www.campabilities.org/oregon.htm
This should help with your goals!

Can she dress herself? Can she do things like put puzzles together or
do
pop beads? Can she take off and put on screwed-on lids? Can she snap
snaps? Can she buckle a belt? I can't think of any more right now.
