Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way,…. By directing him wrong knowingly, or laying a stumbling block in his way, Le 19:14. The Targum of Jonathan is,
“that maketh a traveller wander out of the way, who like a blind man;”
who knows his way no more than a blind man does. Jarchi interprets it,
“that blinds in anything, and gives evil counsel;”
which leads men to take wrong steps, whether in things civil, or moral, or religious; all which are usually done privately:
and all the people shall say Amen; [See comments on De 27:15];
[See comments on De 27:16].

Because of the compassionate characteristics of Deuteronomy, I think this may simply be saying not to take advantage of the handicapped (cf. Lev 19:14).
