I can't really comment on teaching but I found the natural
correspondence between TeX maths and braille maths made TeX quite easy
to learn.

Since MathType can easily translate TeX into MathML, I am considering teaching them the basics of writing math in TeX so all their work could be read in Nemeth on a braille display.
