This may not be what you want to hear, but I don't think Texworks is a 
particularly appropriate application for a blind person.  You want a 
LaTeX-aware editor, but Emacs would probably be a better choice, since 
it uses a text-based screen, which screen readers for blind people would 
probably find easier to handle.  I wouldn't be surprised if other 
configurable editors (e.g. Eclipse, etc.) would also be better than 
Texworks, if they have support for blind users.
