Hello:  Well, as so often happens with this kind of question, i  have no 
clue to whom to return it so here goes:
I took these  assessments years, and I do mean years ago, at our 
Rehabilitation Center  in West Virginia.  They were, for the most part, 
accessible  then.  I am quite surprised by this question.
The block design was,  for example, covered by various textures of fabric 
enabling the person who  was blind to complete the assessment tactilely in 
the same way the person  who is sighted completed it.
The alphabet cards were done in braille /  large print.
Other parts were done verbally, etc.
I really don't know  who one could contact, other than the manufacturer of 
the assessment  itself, and ask about the accessible test.  Now, it may 
well 
be that  someone actually sat and modified the test--who knows.  This was 
in  
the late '70's / early 80's.
What I do know is, one cannot administer  an inaccessible assessment so 
you'd 
do well (your ethical codes forbid  this) so you'd do well to find out 
where, 
or who, has the accessible  version, and I'd start with the test's 
manufacturer.
Hope that  helps.
