Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week

Description

Each year, the last week in June recognizes Helen Keller, and what she did for the deaf-blind community. Born on June 27th, 1880, this week celebrates her life, as well as the blind, deaf, and hard-of-hearing people.  President Ronald Reagan originally set this time aside in 1984, and declared it to be “Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week”, acknowledging not only Helen Keller, but also the contributions of those who have been champions of advocating the rights of persons with this disability. Several events, celebrations, and campaigns are being carried out throughout the world and in the U. S. as well to promote education for those children and adults having deaf and blind issues.
