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.
Explanation:
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.
