You can't... there is no ready to use mod for Kobo that uses a presenter (the way KindleLazy does for Kindle). Not that I'm aware of anyway.
I have some custom hacks to turn page via charger ([
deleted vidme link]) and an even uglier one that does it wireless using a wemos button shield (you have to solder and program yourself).

There are huge problems with both solutions (you need a charger that is recognized by Kobo as such so the Computer Connection screen won't pop up, and the wifi solution is erratic [by default Kobo auto-disables wifi while reading] and gobbles battery like crazy, basically it runs out of juice after an hour or two.
So I've neither made a polished mod out of it, and even if I did it would not help you directly, you'd have to come up with a charger that has a switch your mum can use.
Also my hack is really limited to just a one button action... you can forward but not backward or select different books (or go back into the book in case the reader reboots...).
If really interested in such half-baked solution, feel free to PM me...
