Yes, your student can either compile it through the command line by typing cmd in the windows search box followed by javac followed by the filename .java.there are also plenty of accessible ides including eclipse.

We recently had a blind student complete a Computing degree so I spoke with his personal tutor and she said that he used online tutorials whenever they were available (often the textbook, which we ordered as a PDF from the publisher, would have an accompanying online resource) so just google JAVA online tutorials. She said her opinion would be that if you are working with equations etc. in Physics, then programming would not be a problem. Our student also had a PhD mentor who worked with him for about 3 hours per week and apparently that worked really well.
