The 3rd week of June is Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week! Helen Keller was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first Deaf-Blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She learned to “hear” people’s speech using the Tadoma method, which meant using her fingers to feel the lips and the throat of the speaker. She, herself, learned to speak and spent much of her life giving speeches and lectures on aspects of her life. She became proficient at using Braille and reading sign language with her hand.This Independent Study provides the opportunity to learn more about the DeafBlind community. You will be required to write a 2-page minimum paper. Questions are provided.
