Then she began a slow process of learning to speak under Sarah Fuller of the Horace Mann School for the Deaf, also in Boston. During 1888–90 she spent winters at the Perkins Institution learning Braille. Within months Keller had learned to feel objects and associate them with words spelled out by finger signals on her palm, to read sentences by feeling raised words on cardboard, and to make her own sentences by arranging words in a frame. Sullivan, a remarkable teacher, remained with Keller from March 1887 until her own death in October 1936. As a result, he sent to her a 20-year-old teacher, Anne Sullivan (Macy) from the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston, which Bell’s son-in-law directed. She was examined by Alexander Graham Bell at the age of 6. Keller was afflicted at the age of 19 months with an illness (possibly scarlet fever) that left her blind and deaf.
