Rare video of Helen Keller with her teacher Annie Sullivan. As you may recall, Hellen Keller was not born blind and deaf but an early childhood illness produced very high fever which left her blind as well as deaf. Yet with the help of her dedicated teacher she was able to overcome these seemingly impossible barriers to become an internationally-recognized hero and spokesperson for millions of individuals with a variety of disabilities. Language is the symbolic representation of experience. Thus, the breakthrough came when Helen was able to understand that the symbol drawn in the palm of her hand stood for or was the symbol that represents the experience of water because that was the only word she happened to remember before the illness that left her deaf and blind. Watch this; its fascinating.
