About time ,well done ,
i am physically disabled and use a wheel chair (spinal condition)for mobility .I got into bonsai as it was a form of horticulture I could manage.needless to say that I have got so much out of it ,however I do get fraustrated when I see the magnificent yamadori collected from the wild by outher bonsaist ,this i would love to do . I realy instead on stock from nurserys that I work on over time, this proves expensive however.

There is definatley a gap to fill regards teaching the disabled in this area ,well done indeed I hope it goes well.However sadley I dont know of any courses available at the moment to compare .
you could try the Royal horticultral society and look under disabled courses.
All the best, regards Colin.
