TEACHER
Helen’s parents realized she needed special help, so they contacted a school for the blind.
They found Annie Sullivan there. Annie was blind at one point but she had surgery so she could see.
Annie was able to help Helen and was her helper for fifty years!
SPEAKING
A teacher for the deaf taught Helen how to talk by feeling sound vibrations from lips.
Helen started by saying a few letter and sounds, then words, and finally sentences! Helen was thrilled she could say words!
LATER LIFE
As Helen grew older, she wanted to help others. She gave lots of speeches and raised money for people with disabilities.
In World War 2 she visited soldiers who were hurt.
