As the result of a Presidential Proclamation in 1984, the last week of June has been designated Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week. Every year, HKNC celebrates this anniversary with a national campaign highlighting a particular aspect of deaf-blindness.

 

This year's theme is "Deaf-Blindness Didn't Stop with Helen Keller."
