Most people know of Helen Keller, but very few know of her teacher, Anne Sullivan. She was a strong, independent woman, best known for her bold skills rather than her disabilities. If it weren’t for Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller wouldn’t be a worldwide inspiration for those who suffer from sight, hearing, and speech impairments today. Anne Sullivan made significant contributions to the teaching of sensory disabled people by using techniques such as Tadoma and Learning by Doing.
