Arielle is more of an expert than I, but for stats, SAS , is what seems to
work for stats and JAWS. SPSS worked okay, but I couldn't get full
functionality; I think I needed to employ a braille display for greatest
affect with SPSS.  So, Even though you should contact Arielle, SAS is from
what I understand what works with JAWS and stats.  Anyone on this list,
please correct me if I am wrong.
Also, Excel is able to do some stat equations.  You can use the formulas, or
the add ins, but it is not as effective at running stats as the programs
made for that.
