baby.
•Despite her missing senses, Helen was able to communicate with her family using
signs she had invented to let them know what she wanted.
•When Helen was seven years old, her family hired a private teacher named Anne
Sullivan. Miss Sullivan was sight-impaired herself.
•Anne helped by teaching Helen letters, how to behave, and how to talk. Anne
showed Helen what letters were and what things were.

Helen could feel the sounds.
