Helen and her family found ways to connect with each other, such as hand-signing, but her family wanted her to be able to connect with the world.
When Anne Sullivan, a teacher with her own experience with disability, came into her life, Helen learned more ways to communicate, learning both finger-spelling and how to talk. Eventually, she become the first deaf-blind person to earn a university degree, and led her to tour the world advocating for the rights of disabled people.
