Unless a child has developmental delays, they should absolutely be doing Nemeth math when the peers are doing written math.  Sighted children learn the many different ways that a letter can be formed (a versus a versus A, for example) as well as cursive or script eventually.  
 
If they don't keep her up with her peers, exactly when do they plan to catch her up?  With all of the pullouts our blind kids have a school (TVI, OM, etc.), there is hardly extra time to catch them up later.
 
Make it a game at home.  Buy dominoes and put the Nemeth numbers on them.  Then play dominoes together.
 
Good luck,
Wendy
