Helen Keller was born in Tuscany, Alabama, USA. She was born smart. Less than six months after birth, she can clearly say the words "tea" and "water" and is more sensitive to things around her.
Just one year old, one evening, before the sun went down, my mother put a basin of hot water for Helen Keller to scrub. However, when her mother picked Helen Keller up from the bathtub and put her on her lap, she was trying to wrap herself in a big towel. Helen Keller's eyes were suddenly attracted by the swaying shadow on the floor. She looked at it curiously, absorbed in it, her eyes were motionless, and she couldn't help but reach out and pounce on it, as if to catch it.
At that time, although my mother had noticed Helen Keller's eyes, in her eyes, the shadow of the tree was just a normal natural phenomenon, and there was nothing to make a fuss about. Therefore, she never imagined that Helen Keller would lean forward with such strength. As a result, she accidentally slipped away and let Helen Keller slide to the ground and cry. Knowing that her daughter was frightened, the mother quickly held Helen Keller in her arms and coaxed her for a long time before Helen Keller calmed down.
Soon after, my mother quietly recalled what happened, and she found that Helen Keller seemed to be particularly observant. Usually one year old.
Our baby should be ignorant and have no tendency to try to understand everything deeply, but Helen Keller has a delicate mind and even wants to feel the wonder of change with her own limbs. Of course, compared with adults, Helen Keller's performance is not mature. If compared with other babies, it can't be special.
And parents are lucky enough to have a gifted child, of course, they are proud! Whenever relatives and friends visit home, they just don't talk about their daughters. Once the topic turns to Helen Keller, the mother's contented joy will naturally emerge from her speech.
But how long can this joy last? While her parents were talking happily about Helen Keller's bright future, Helen Keller fell ill inexplicably, which not only took away her parents' hopes, but also turned Helen Keller into an invisible and inaudible little girl.
Poor Helen Keller, how to face a world without light and sound? This is really a headache. It is not easy to educate a child with perfect facial features at ordinary times, and Helen Keller is blind and deaf! Perhaps parents can guess and imagine Helen Keller's mood, but they will never understand it, just as Helen Keller can't understand normal life, they really can't understand it.
At first, my parents tried again and again by experiment. Although I have failed countless times, I have found many essentials after a long time. In addition to passively guessing Helen Keller's gestures, they sometimes teach Helen Keller to express her emotions with body movements.
In addition, Helen Keller also learned to feel the things around her with touch. In this way, little by little, after four or five years, Helen Keller can appreciate everything that children can feel with their eyes and ears through touch. It's just that parents are not experts in disability education, so the body language that Helen Keller learned can only be understood by parents, not by outsiders.
Parents who have always cared about their daughters have always been concerned about this issue, especially thinking that their daughters will be old and weak one day. If Helen Keller still can't communicate with outsiders, then the future experience of Helen Keller will be very tragic. So when Helen Keller was seven years old, they invited a specially trained Sullivan teacher from other places.
Miss Sullivan gets along well with Helen Keller. They got along well within a few days of knowing each other, and Helen Keller also learned to read from Miss Sullivan.
One day, the teacher wrote the word "water" on Helen Keller's palm. Helen Keller somehow failed to write it down. The teacher knows where Helen Keller's difficulties lie. She took Helen Keller to the fountain and asked her to put her little hand under the fountain and let the cool spring water spill on her hand. Then, Teacher Sullivan wrote the word "water" on Helen Keller's palm, and Helen Keller will never forget it.
However, Mr. Sullivan believes that it is still inconvenient to communicate just knowing how to read without speaking. Helen Keller, however, was deaf and blind since she was a child, unable to hear other people's voices or see their mouths. Therefore, although she is not dumb, she can't speak.
In order to overcome this difficulty, Miss Sullivan found an expert for Helen Keller, who taught her to feel the change of mouth shape when others spoke with her hands, and to learn pronunciation through the difference between inhaling and exhaling through the nasal cavity. Of course, it wasn't easy, but Helen Keller did it. Helen Keller, a blind writer, not only broke through the functional barrier and learned to speak, but also devoted her life to giving speeches to disabled people everywhere, encouraging them to affirm themselves and aspire to be a disabled person. Helen Keller's love not only gives the disabled full confidence, but also inspires people all over the world to face up to the welfare of the disabled and establish service institutions to help them live a healthy and happy life.
