Read this excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. Based on the excerpt, what are Keller's feelings about the learning differences between children who hear and children who are deaf? I had now the key to all language, and I was eager to learn to use it. Children who hear acquire language without any particular effort; the words that fall from others' lips they catch on the wing, as it were, delightedly, while the little deaf child must trap them by a slow and often painful process. But whatever the process, the result is wonderful. Gradually from naming an object we advance step by step until we have traversed the vast distance between our first stammered syllable and the sweep of thought in a line of Shakespeare.

The Story of My Life, by Helen Keller is an Autobiography.

Her feelings, in summary, is that it takes special children to teach special children

Explanation

This excerpt centers upon her pain and agony for not being able to express herself and how she through the help of her teacher overcame that for she had been born deaf.

Due to the peculiarity associated with the teaching and learning methods for deaf people, it was frustrating at first for her to place the "logic" behind what her teacher was trying hard to help her understand.

The key learning difference to be taken away from the excerpt is that for people who are challenged like Keller, it takes greater patience on the part of the teacher to manage the initial emotions associated with confusion and misunderstanding through to the point where they can establish a mental frame of reference upon which the student or child can discover and build upon.
