Answer:

1) Undeterred by deafness and blindness, Helen Keller rose to become a major 20th century humanitarian, educator and writer. She advocated for the blind and for women's suffrage and co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union.

2) Gain the person's attention by speaking first and/or by a gentle touch on the arm.

Introduce yourself and what you do.

Always talk to the person directly, rather their sighted companion.

In a group conversation, always make it clear who you are and who you are speaking to.

Use verbal responses, avoid nods and head shakes.
