3. She was born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama to Katherine Adams Keller & Arthur H. Keller • In 1882 she became ill and lost her sense of sight, hearing, and became mute • In 1887 Anne Sullivan helped her along with communicating and continued to help Helen until Anne’s death • Sarah Fuller taught her how to speak by placing Helen’s hand on her face and in her mouth, so she could fell the position and vibration of her mouth area when she made certain sounds • After two hours she said her first sentence “It is too warm” • She went to college in 1900 • She helped found A.C.L.U (AmericanCivilLiberties Union) • Received many honors in her lifespan • Wrote the books, “The Story of my Life” and “The World I Live In” • Died June 1, 1968 Helen Keller

4. Born December 23, 1905 in Galveston, TX • Diagnosed with “spinal meningitis” at age 7 • Lost hearing and use of legs due to that disease • Became member of “Galveston Toboggan Surf Club” in 1923 • Won a lot of swimming competitions, or races • In his time lifeguarding he, earned 25$ for rescuing a poodle, received 30$ for retrieving a lady’s false teeth, was awarded two cans of beer for rescuing two girls from drowning, and saved a newsboy, he also rescued two crewmen after their tug boat exploded in flames. (to do this he had to swim under burning oil) • He made his very first rescue at age 12 • He almost drowned during rescues 16 times • He adapted by practicing walking and swimming with his siblings • Set a record that was added to the Guinness Book of World Records for saving 70 people from the surf • Retired from lifeguarding at age 62 because of a heart condition • Died on July 12, 1974 Leroy Colombo

5. He was born in Coupuruary, near Paris on January 4, 1809 • He went blind at age 3 because one day, in his dads workshop he accidentally stabbed himself in the eye with an awl, he went blind in that eye, then it got infected, the infection spread and he became blind in both eyes • After staying at regular school for two more years then he wanted a new way to learn • At age ten he received a scholarship to “The Royal Institution for Blind Youth in Paris” • One day at school, Charles Barbier told him about “night writing”, a code of 12 raised dots on paper for use of soldiers without having to speak • The code fascinated Louis • He transformed night writing’s twelve dots into 6 dots, creating the famous “Braille Language” or “Braille for the Blind”, he fixed his system by the age 15, and he published the first Braille Book in 1829 • In 1837 he added symbols for music and math • He died in 1852 at age 43 of Tuberculosis Louis Braille

6. Ways People Adapt

7. Braille has a six cell structure, different combinations of the six dots being filled or enhanced so you can feel them in the paper or sign creates letters. (Shown at the Bottom Right) Braille

8. The “Perkins Braille Writer” is what blind people use to write Braille • There are seven buttons on the writer, one to fill in, or punch in the 1 column, one for the two column, etc. • The writer punches an implant on the cells you want to fill in that letter, there is also a button to start a new letter, the buttons on the side add a space to start a new word The Perkins Braille Writer

9. For use of the computer, there is a program called “Talking Software” that tells you what button you hit on the keypad, what you are hovering over on the monitor, etc. • A Braille monitor is something that can be attached to an Ipad or tablet that puts the text on the screen onto a pad in Braille • Audio Books are books on an Ipad, Ipod etc. they read the book to you through the speaker • Glasses are used for more minor vision impairment, magnifying glasses and enlarged book print are used too • Helper dogs (do not know the official term) are used to guide the Visually Impaired person Braille monitor More ways Blind Humans Adapt

10. Deaf people use lip reading, sign language, handwriting, hearing aids and more • Lip reading is basically seeing what the other person is saying by how they move their lips • Sign language is the act of moving your hand or hands to give the symbol of a word • If two people are trying to communicate, one deaf the other not, one knows sign language the other doesn’t, they could use handwriting to communicate • Hearing aids enhance the ability to hear in the ear it is in • For emergencies, by law, public places must have flashing lights for their fire alarms so the deaf know what is going on Ways Deaf Humans Adapt

11. There are seven different levels of hearing loss • More info about these topics are on the papers shown below None Slight Moderate Moderately Severe Severe Profound Severities of Hearing Loss

12. Sign Language Examples

13. It depends on the situation, sign language is easier to learn at a young age, but is hard to use at school • For at school purposes a note book system with pictures works, for example, if you were supposed to answer a math problem, you would flip to the numbers page and point to the answer, if you wanted a certain food at lunch, you could flip to the food page and point to that food • There are also devices that are similar to the notebook system but they just say the word • There are also recordable message machines, that if you had a book report, for example you could write it down on a piece of paper, then one of your parents could say the message you wrote down on the paper into the recorder, when you wanted to share your report you could hit the play button • For older persons there are machines that you keypad type the message in and it plays what you typed Ways Mute People Adapt
