My cousin is visually impaired and needs the screen zoom feature. She wants the zoom focus to shift to whatever was opened last - notifications, the last program opened or a dialog popup so she doesn't have to search for it.
Can this be done?

Hi KFGatri
welcome to this Apple (user-to-user) Community!
Re: "Screen zoom focus to new items automatically? Can this be done?"
We are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community. A vision or accessibility professional may be able to suggest the best options for your cousin. (eg: There may be specially designed third-party apps that are tailored to suit your cousin's vision requirements)
Also, for Apple's software: We don't have much info. to go on:
ie: Wondering what hardware (Mac, iPad, iPhone ) model, and which software macOS, iPadOS, iOS version your cousin uses..(NB: Is often wise to keep a device updated to the newest compatible OS version.)
Apple has various accessibility software solutions:
Eg: Accessibility features for vision on iPhone - Apple Support
says:
With built-in accessibility features for vision on iPhone, you can make it easier to see what’s on the screen, or you can hear what’s on the screen spoken out loud. You can even use your iPhone as a magnifying glass, and hold it up to get descriptions of what’s around you if you can’t see it.
To explore accessibility features for vision, go to Settings 
> Accessibility. Vision features are at the top.
Also says:
Zoom in
Enlarge what you’re viewing—the entire screen or one part of it.
Make text bigger and bolder
Adjust the reading size for text across iPhone apps and system features.
Enlarge text as you type
Display a separate window with a larger version of the text that you’re typing.
Note: There's much more iPhone info, in that linked article at the top

For Mac: There are also specialised articles like:
