- Adaptions
- Helen would always follow her mother around holding onto her skirt. Helen noticed different smells and felt different vibrations as people and things moved around her. Helen used signs to communicate. By the time she was 5, Helen had made over 50 signs for things she wanted, and also signs representing family members. Helen threw tantrums when realizing that she couldn't talk/move her lips to speak and when she didn't get her way. Other relatives told her mother to put her away but she didn't want to do that to her daughter. She knew Helen was smart, she just needed to find a teacher.
