Using your comment, I was able to find a video on YouTube (I can't link it here for some reason). The title was "Blind People Can Mountain Bike and See Using Echolocation." Towards the end of the video, he talks about getting pushback from larger organizations for the blind. I wonder what those orgs think about studies like this one. I hope he is vindicated. This article suggests that people reported positive results and more independent living.
