Kathy,
You can do your own searching and find many materials. I would say to get the info she really needs, it needs to be in braille. Doing math and science without braille is very difficult. 
 
Here are some resources and if they do not have the book, call people like Mendon and they will braille it up for you for a cost--the cost will be enormous:

Hi All,
This went from the math list to the student list to now, you teachers! I
wonder if she knows about the teacher list. Any other teacher have time to
reach out to her?
