Little People, Big Dreams - Helen Keller

Meet disability rights advocate Helen Keller.

Little Helen was  curious and eager to learn about the world. After contracting an illness during childhood,  she became deaf and blind at the age of one and was unable to talk. Helen and her family found ways to connect with each other, such as hand-signing.

But when Anne Sullivan, a teacher, came into her life, Helen discovered  more ways to communicate with the wider world, learning finger-spelling and how to talk. This saw her 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.
