I would contact Sharon Monthei, who used to work for BLIND, Inc., and did this for several years.  They might be able to put you in contact with her, as she retired from there last year.

Good Morning,

This past Tuesday, a student began our training program with very limited English skills.  An interpreter is with her during class.  I would like some suggestions on how or whether it is possible to teach er Braille.  Right now, she is not on my schedule because of the communication barrier.  I would like to work with her if it is possible.  Any suggestions, teaching techniques, and/or places to obtain materials would be appreciated.
