Guys, she has
NO LEFT HAND. How is she going to reach her
LEFT MOUNTED butt dump
STANDARD on MAJORITY of Wings, when she's inverted!?!? Really? Get a Bp/W? At least mention Zeagle, DiveRite, or OMS who have Right mounted Butt dumps on some wings.
Next thing you're going to say is "donate your primary" so she can wait OOA until the panic diver she's rescuing has air. THEN she can find her secondary.
Or she can just toss her primary off and hope the OOA diver catches it, while she get's her secondary.
Does that seem like a good technique for a new diver? I know there are some instructors on here.
And I know WE know how majority of scuba instructors turn out divers. Let's think about this for a second and turn Copy & Paste OFF.
ninadeer, I would look for an instructor who has been trained in disabled diving. They will have the knowledge and techniques to teach you to overcome issues that might arise by not having 2 hands to manipulate controls.
Scuba dive training priority is to teach you to prevent problems and then solve problems should the first step fail.
Going with any instructor who hasn't experienced or trained with this mindset might overlook certain situations and not train your for them.
I'll second HSA:

Any BC you get, should have dump valves you can manipulate on your right side for both the top and bottom.
You will need to dump air in your BC as you ascend from your dive, and in some cases you may flip feet up either on purpose or accident and have to dump air from the "bottom" of your BC.
So having dump valves on the right side would make safety a bit more convenient for you.
Some Bp/W (Backplate/Wing) have that, but not all. Most have Left mounted Butt Dumps, which would do you no good.
Though I'm sure you could jury rig a pull string to trace along the bottom of the wing to your right side.
Weightbelt VS integrated comes down to technique and then personal preference.
Replacing a weightbelt underwater with only one hand will take some technique and this is where an HSA instructor will come in real handy.
I would not know how to roll one onto me using only one hand. They might.
I use both, and I would always dump one at a time.
Dumping all at once means you're rocketing to the surface, which is the last thing you want to do even in an emergency. Remember how I said training to prevent a problem? Prevent a situation where you feel that is your only logical option to approach an emergency ascent. Pull weights one at a time and as needed.
So weightbelt and Integrated pockets are all good for you, replacing them underwater is where I can't comment because I don't know how you'll fair with this. That will be something to practice in your pool sessions.
I would go with a standard BC setup (can be Bp/w; can be stock; they both have their limitations), which is to say it has a left mounted inflator hose, not a lever. Those you can manipulate inflation buttons with your right hand, and even possibly dump. For dumping air there are dump valves mounted on the right side of most stock BC's and some backplate Wings.
A Conventional inflator hose looks like this:
I'll leave the rest to your instructor.
