It started with a letter in August 1886.

Anne Sullivan, just 20 years old, was asked by her mentor at the Perkins School for the Blind if she would consider a teaching role with a family in Alabama. Their daughter, Helen Keller, had been deaf and blind since she was 19 months old due to a severe illness.

The Kellers had reached out to the famous inventor and educator of the deaf, Alexander Graham Bell, for advice, who put them in touch with Perkins.

That letter set in motion a partnership that opened the door to language for Helen Keller and changed both of their lives.

People who are blind or have low vision are calling for rideshare services such as Uber to be included in taxi subsidy schemes across the country.

Caitlin McMorrow is blind and uses a guide dog. She has been forced to cancel medical appointments when taxis simply don't show up. "There's nothing more stressful than booking an appointment or having a social event planned, and then kind of constantly having that thought in the back of your mind of, 'Am I actually gonna be able to get there and get home again?' which is kind of where we're at with transport in Brisbane at the moment, it just isn't reliable," she told 9news.coM.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we live, work, and connect. But is it working for everyone?

AFB is conducting a national study on how people with and without disabilities use AI.
To ensure accurate and inclusive results, we’re especially seeking responses from people without disabilities while continuing to welcome participation from individuals with disabilities.

Take the survey by September 30, 2025, to help shape the future of AI: afb.org/AISurvey
