There is a discussion of this in the movie At First Sight.  In the credits of
the movie, there will be original sources sighted.  Sorry, I'm blind myself so
can't check the credits for you -- they're not exactly very accessible but the
basic idea of what you've stated is actually correct.  Blind o&m trainers
teach this kind of orientation to clients.  Unfortunately, since the majority
of o&m trainers are sighted this does not happen much of the time.
