Alexander Graham Bell followed the footsteps of his father, Alexander Melville Bell, as a teacher of the deaf. After graduating at the universities of Edinburgh and London, he spent his early years learning to educate deaf-mutes by using a system developed by his father. In 1872 he founded a school to train teachers of the deaf in Boston, MA. The school eventually became part of Boston University, where Bell was appointed professor of vocal physiology.
yes, he did a lot of work in helping the deaf.
Alexander Graham Bell and his wife Mabel Gardner Hubbard had four children, two boys who died in infancy and two daughters... Elsie May Bell (1878 - 1864) and Marian Hubbard Bell (1880 - 1962). There is no indication that any of the children were deaf.
Bell had two daughters, but neither suffered from deafness. His wife Mabel was profoundly deaf, however, and Bell's mother had also been deaf-- one reason that motivated him in his work to develop a hearing aid that would restore some hearing to those who had lost it.

bell's father,grandfather and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech,and both his mother and wife were deaf,profoundly influensing bell's life's work
While Alexander Graham Bell did work with the deaf community and advocated for oralism (the use of spoken language over sign language), he himself did not communicate using sign language. Bell believed that deaf individuals should integrate into mainstream society by learning and using spoken language.
Alexander Bell was not trying to invent the telephone . . . he was inventing a device that would help deaf people hear a little bit. He ran wires into a different room where helper was listening. It worked! The helper heard Bell from the other room. That started the idea that the device would work at a far distance from the person speaking.

Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 - August 2, 1922) was an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.[N 1]Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.[2] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first US patent for the telephone in 1876.[N 2] In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.[4]Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell became one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society.[5] Bell has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history.[6]
