Helen Keller's family first discovered that she could neither hear nor see when Helen was only 19 months old, after a severe illness, which was later determined to be either scarlet fever or meningitis. This illness left her permanently deaf and blind. Her family sought help from specialist Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, who suggested contacting the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where Anne Sullivan was eventually hired to become Helen's teacher.
