She had the privilege of singing for Helen Keller very much the same way as the video depicts Anne Sullivan vocalizing speech with Helen Keller's hand placed strategically on my grandmother's throat and face to perceive the vibration.
FReegards!
Oh my gosh! Made me cry!

Shared it with my 9 year old, she too was delighted watching it.

What an inspiration. Just try to imagine what she overcame.
Very cool.
Thank you
No she was not dumb but she was a communist.
Amazing, yes. But why does the Smithsonian feel it is necessary to edit the tape and sync the words Anne Sullivan is speaking with Helen’s mouth so it looks like she is speaking perfectly?

What teaching should be: love creativity and dedication!
How inspirational!
Thank you for sharing
Excellent post!
Very cool Thanks
Thanks for posting! What those two women accomplished was awesome!
What a beautiful thing. Keller must have been highly intelligent to have made the connection between the feel and the sound of the letters, and just in general in how she made the leap outward from the confines of her sensory limitations. She really was an ideal subject in that she could give her instructors a lot of help from her end. She was tunneling towards them just as they were tunneling towards her, so that the connection was more readily made.
I also find the accent of the other lady interesting. She sounds a lot like other people you hear in sound clips from that era. In particular I notice the soft “r”. Somewhere along the line there has been a shift in the way Americans make their “r” sounds.

Amazing!!!
I wonder if she ever saw this?
If you want to drive a person in the educational inclusion movement nuts then ask them, as I have in several conferences; “If Helen Keller had been in an inclusive classroom would anyone know who she was?”
When it comes to special education for severely and profound children we know what works and it isn’t inclusion. Inclusion is a political construction based upon several PC concepts that has nothing to do with education.
Here is a longer one with her speaking about at the 1:45 mark:
