Grml has the advantage of not being specifically designed for users who
are blind, i.e., it's a more general-purpose distribution, while having
excellent built-in accessibility. This includes Speakup and BRLTTY for
speech and braille, respectively, all available by specifying options
during the boot process.

Once it has booted, you can use it as a live CD and then install Debian
from it onto a hard drive, with whatever packages you wish.
