I work with this type of software all the time. There are a few products out there that should fill your needs.
Since you mentioned he is not totally blind he does not need a screen reader so I will stay away from those. What you need to look at are screen magnifiers. Most will magnify the screen greatly without to much distortion of the text/graphics.
The best Magnifier (IMO) on the market right now is called Zoomtext made by Ai Squared http://www.aisquared.com/index.htm. You can download the trial version from thier website. The current version is 8.1. Win XP has a built in magnifier but its not worth the hassle.
Its not exactly a cheap program but most of the time you can get help on the cost through the school boards.
