the American Printing House for the Blind has a number of tactile drawing aids.
If those options look expensive, one could use wicki stix, pipe cleaners, craft

style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; COLOR: #17365d">We have a student,
legally/medically blind with very little vision, enrolled in our veterinary
paramedic program. This program includes a lot of lab work, including using a
microscope to identify various specimens, etc. Although I’ve placed
CCTVs in her classrooms for other work, I’m wondering how to accommodate her
for the work needed using a microscope!? Not even sure how we would
accommodate her when the course work gets to drawing blood,
etc.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
