A related question: are the current LaTeX learning materials (books,
web pages etc) adequate for blind persons?  Most of those I've read
are visually oriented: this LaTeX code produces an equation that looks
like this.  I would imagine we need something contents-oriented: this
LaTeX code has this meaning.

We at TUG have TeX education working group,
https://tug.org/twg/edutex/.  If there are some materials useful
specifically for teaching visually impaired persons, let me know, and
I will add links to the edutex web page.  If there are no such
materials, we can talk to publishers about a book project.

Good luck

incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by
twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.
