Hello Maria,
Teaching English to learners who are blind will depend on many things, such as whether or not the student already knows how to speak another language and read & write another language. Other considerations are how much vision they have and whether they use braille or large print. Are they able to see photographs? Do you have access to assistive technology, such as a video magnifier, so that they can enlarge images?
For more information on teaching English to students with visual impairments, see the section in this website on this topic:
Good luck!
