Describe ms Sullivan teaching methods

Ms. Sullivan was as exemplary teacher, guide and
mentor. She understood Helen’s fears, loneliness
and frustration that she felt in her tiny, isolated
world of silence.
She was always very supportive and encoura-
ging to Helen. This transformed Helen and
helped her to deal with the problems she had.
She taught Helen manual alphabets which
helped her to communicate with people. She
opened a world of nature and beauty for her.
She taught every minute thing to Helen and
made her think deep. She chose means and
methods to teach Helen by taking her needs into
consideration. She also made Helen experience
and admire nature and taught her abstract ideas
using innovative teaching methods.
She was hardworking and an embodiment of
patience. She had strength of character and a
positive approach. Helen never felt that she
was being taught. Infact Ms. Sullivan’s teaching
methods unfolded possibilities. Her nurturing
and care transformed a lost and lovely child into
a mature, selfless and compassionate adult who
later worked for the blind, deaf and unfortunate
people.
First of all, Anne read every bit of published
material available to her about the education of
handicapped students Knowledge of pedagogy
was the first step to effective practice. In addition
to this, Anne had the “advantage” of personal
experience, as she herself had wrestled with
severe vision impairment as a result of trachoma.
She knew the challenges faced by a child in a
similar situation.
