  I need to make a site that the visually impaired can use- I found a wordpress accessibility plugin- can I install it somehow or can you suggest a template that includes an accessibility widget/ options?

  We don’t allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

  Thanks, I read that before but was hoping I missed something. Is there any way to five readers the option to change text size if I have to stick with wordpress.com?

  Not really. If you have a Custom Design upgrade, you can increase the font size, but that would be for the whole blog and for all viewers.

  OK thanks anyways. I would like to suggest that the changing text size accessibility widget become an standard option on WordPress.com. It could benefit both people who may not be able to handle WordPress.org from a coding standpoint, and the people who read their blogs. Please pass it on. Thank you!
