Hi, accommodations will vary from one person to another. If you do not read braille, their are a number of good options. Please check the link that I pasted in the email.

There is a list of available accommodations for persons with visual impairments available on the website. Unfortunately I believe these are listed in a PDF document, so you will have to run it through OCR or something to be able to read the document. It's about 25 pages long, and if I remember correctly the accommodations request form is located on pages 14 through 22 of the PDF document.
