Talk with your child’s doctor or nurse. If you or your
doctor think there could be a problem, you can take your
child to see an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or other
specialist, and you can contact your local early
intervention agency (for children under 3) or public
school (for children 3 and older).

Other signs include one eye of a child with vision loss could look out or cross. One or both eyes could be watery, and one or
both of the child’s eyelids could also look red-rimmed,
crusted, or swollen.

Your child should be checked for vision problems by an
ophthalmologist, optometrist, pediatrician, or other
trained specialist. Having your child’s vision checked is especially
important if someone in your family has had vision
problems. #DDAwareness2021

Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. 
Born in Alabama, she lost her sight and hearing after a bout of illness at the age of nineteen months. At age seven, she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan, who taught her language, including reading and writing. 
Helen attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. She worked for the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB)  from 1924 until 1968. 
Keller was an author of 14 books and hundreds of speeches. Keller campaigned for those with disabilities, for women’s suffrage, labor rights, and world peace.  She was a supporter of the NAACP and an original member of the ACLU. 

The story of Keller and Sullivan was made famous by Keller's autobiography, The Story of My Life, and its adaptations for film and stage, The Miracle Worker.
