There was a blind aikidoka who I met the last time I attended the Santa Cruz summer retreat, about 4 years ago. I don't remember what dojo he was from, but Linda Holiday (North Bay Aikido) may be able to tell you.

I can say that he did have reasonable skills for his experience level. It was necessary for his ukes to explain some things they saw in the teachers, but he seemed to pick them up. The other difference was that ukes had to be careful to communicate where it was safe to throw.
