Could we have helped Helen Keller if she was alive today with her blindness or deafness?

I don't know if we cold have helped her hear or see, but there would have been better services and support for her family. She would not have been secluded in the way that she was, and would have had different social interaction and stimulation.

yes , we are more advanced today than back in her time,

maybe there are things like chocliar (sp?) implants and retina repairs. im not sure why she was deaf and blind but possibly. sry.
