[BlindMath] [EXTERNAL] Re: Coding Group and Coding tutor for Vision Impaired High School Student

This appears to be at least somewhat accessible:
https://greenteapress.com/thinkpython2/html/index.html
and I suspect the authors may welcome any accessibility-related improvements.
Returning to the topic of the mailing list, if I recall correctly, the open-source SageMath tool is Python-based, so anyone with basic Python knowledge should have an advantage in using it. Python programming can also lead to work in data science, machine learning and related (highly mathematical) fields. Thus, mathematics and Python are strongly related these days.

My son is interested in coding and has learned some Python here and there.
It is very user friendly with a screenreader.  We have not had much luck in
finding online programs to use though for tutorials and local camps are
completely inaccessible.
