Teaching a visually impaired student

Hello guys,

First of all, I hope I'm in the right place and that my question is okay.

To contextualize, I'm a young teacher in Europe, I literally got my diploma two months ago (I teach spanish if that helps). Today I was talking to my mentor and she told me that in my class I'll have, starting tomorrow, a visually impaired student.

This student isn't a "normal" case, because she has no accommodations whatsoever. Her parents don't speak the language of our country well and it's my school that got her a medical appointment during which they told her that she's going to be fully blind really soon.

In my country, I don't know in others, but in order to get accommodations like text to speech you have to go trought lengthy procedures which are already hard to go through for a native speaker but even harder for those who are not. So her school status isn't "normal" because she has a disability that isn't yet recognized by the state, which means no tools.

So, starting tomorrow, I'll have a student who's almost blind with no accommodations at all. What can I do?

I'm obviously putting her front row, I'm already planning on adapting the sheets of papers with a higher contrast and bigger letters because she can still see a little bit. I was also thinking of using QR codes so at home she'll be able to scan it and listen to my voice for corrections, to hear her lessons, exercices, etc. But they only have one phone at home so we don't even know if that's a possibility... I was also thinking of adding maybe stickers to guide her? Like if we do an exercise in silent or an evaluation I'd pre-record my voice on a device and guide her through touch (for exemple: the star "you have to do this etc"). I also have to add that in my school we don't have computers for students or tablets.

Obviously tomorrow I'll talk to her after class to see what she uses and what she has access to. But from what I've heard her parents are lost and so is she. So if you have any advices from your experience I'm more than open and willing. She's already failing because she cannot see well and I don't want that for her.

So if anything worked for you, if you have an idea even for exams accommodations for example, I'll love to hear them. I'm already searching high and low but there's nothing better than to hear from people that went through something similar.

Thank you for your time
