We have had some experience tutoring blind students or students going blind
in our writing center.  What has helped them is the use of large text
graphics
programs that print out in large type.  They sometimes seem to develop a
dialogue that is much more concise than the average writer...though the
one we tutored put so much effort into her work she was really unwilling to
make the necessary improvements.  Rewrites are a difficulty, because they put
more effort into the original than the ordinary person.

                                  Any more thoughts?
