Sometimes it’s easier to believe what we want to over what is true. #HelenKeller was an extraordinary little girl. Her story is well-documented. To call her a fraud, to deny her existence, is to deny her life’s work. More via @YahooNews @kjustich11 http://yhoo.it/3qkl2tX  (1/10) https://twitter.com/kjustich11/status/1349035415538462723

#HelenKeller’s impact is undeniable. With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, she showed the world that a deafblind child could not only communicate, but learn, and, in fact, change the world. (2/10)

#HelenKeller is just one person who was deafblind—there are countless others, and at Perkins, we continue to work every single day with children who are deaf and blind. Because we believe in possibilities. (3/10)

And because we believe—no, we KNOW—that every child can learn, regardless of one, or many, disabilities. And you should believe it too. (4/10)

We are beyond proud to say #AnneSullivan trained at Perkins, just like we are beyond proud of the work our teachers do every day to ensure every child has access to opportunity. (5/10)

#DYK #HelenKeller was a founder of the @ACLU? She devoted her life to #HumanRights, #SocialJustice, #disability & #WomensRights. Asserting her right "to feel at home in the great world” she fought for the same right for ALL people. (6/10)

Here is the real story of Helen Keller. Please read it and share it with your friends. She was very, very real. (7/10) https://people.howstuffworks.com/helen-keller.htm

And, here is what Deafblind education looks like today at Perkins (8/10)

And if you still can’t believe that people with multiple disabilities can learn, we’d like you to meet Ahmed, a recent Perkins Graduate. (9/10) https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=351665145517395

If you believe nothing else, believe that a little girl can change the world. (10/10)
