About this listen
Helen Adams Keller was an American author, handicap rights champ, political activist, and speaker who lived from June 27, 1880 to June 1, 1968. She was born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, and following a bout of health problem at the age of 19 months, she lost both her sight and hearing.
Keller used home signals till she was seven years of age, when she met Anne Sullivan, her first instructor and long-lasting partner, who taught her language, and that includes reading and writing; Sullivan's first lessons comprised spelling words on Keller's hand to show her the names of things around her. Using the Tadoma method, she also discovered how to speak and comprehend other individuals' speech.
She got her education at both specialized and traditional organizations before registering at Harvard University's Radcliffe College, where she ended up being the first deafblind individual to get a Bachelor of Arts degree. She worked for the American Structure for the Blind (AFB) from 1924 to 1968, exploring the USA and taking a trip to 35 nations around the globe to promote for people who have lost their vision.
