Helen Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in Tuscumbia, Alabama.
Her father, Arthur Keller, was an editor and also had fought in the Confederate Army. Her mother, Kate Keller, stayed home with Helen.
When Helen was 19 months old, she was very sick and developed a severe fever. She survived her illness and her fever which left her deaf and blind. When Helen was seven years old, her parents got a suggestion from Alexander Graham Bell and contacted a school for blind to find a teacher for Helen.
Anne Sullivan was hired to help Helen. Anne helped by teaching Helen letters, how to behave, and how to talk. Anne showed Helen what letters were and what things were. One example, Anne taught Helen the word water by using a water pump. Anne wanted Helen to fill up a pitcher. When Helen felt the water running on her hands Anne taught her the letters W-A-T-E-R.
Anne also taught her how to have good behavior. For example, Helen was eating everyone’s food off their plates with her hands. Anne pushed her to sit down and use her fork. Anne kept Helen’s arms to herself. Anne taught Helen how to talk by placing Helen's hands on the lips and throat so Helen could feel the sounds.
Helen’s accomplishments were going to college, reading and writing in Braille, and writing her own book. Helen went to Radcliffe College. Radcliffe didn’t want her to attend. Helen didn’t care about their thoughts so she attended there anyway
She graduated in 1904 and learned five different languages. She was the first deaf-blind person to receive BA degree.
Helen had two typewriters. One was regular and another one was Braille. She used a typewriter to write books, letters, and articles. Anne changed the college books to Braille and Helen read the book. Helen wrote her first book called, “The Story of My Life," which she while in college.
Helen was important to other people with disabilities because she inspired people. She showed that Deaf and blind people deserved respect. She helped support various Deaf-Blind programs. Helen inspired people with disabilities because she was persistent. One way she showed persistence was when she applied to college. Another way was when she learned letters, words, and sentences. Anne kept showing her more letters, words, and sentences and Helen kept wanting to learn more and more.
