As a child living with his deaf mother, Eliza, Alexander Graham Bell sympathized with the hearing impaired and later dedicated his life to teaching speech and liberating deaf children. In 1870, Bell and his family moved to Canada where Melville taught his son visible speech and created teaching jobs for him throughout New England. A year later, Alexander Graham Bell settled in Boston, a center of commercial, educational and scientific activities. He began writing articles on deaf education and giving scientific lectures (Grosvenor, Wesson). When Bell moved to Boston, he was able to spread the teaching of the visible word. He continued his career teaching the deaf where technology and inventions were flourishing. “It really hurts my heart to see the difficulties that little children face because of the prejudices of their teachers. You know that all communication here is done strictly with the mouth...and these are little children who don't imagine that speech depends on lip reading for almost every idea that comes to mind. Of course, their mental development is slow. It is a miracle to me that they are progressing” (Letter to Melville and Eliza, MS,). Alexander Graham Bell began teaching at the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he used his playful nature and knowledge of visible speech to educate deaf children. He has dedicated his life and career to helping make a difference in the lives of deaf children and using new and innovative techniques to make their lives easier. As people began to become aware of Alexander Graham Bell's extreme talents, he was hired to tutor children who had especially difficulty reading, writing, and speaking. Thomas Sanders, a Salem... middle of paper ..., extensive research and experimentation led to what no one else seemed to be able to understand. Despite numerous setbacks and failed experiments over the two years, they still managed to simultaneously transmit human speech over a single wire. With great triumph with the telephone, Bell began to present his invention in Massachusetts, at conventions, universities and meetings. He became a known and respected inventor (Bell invents the telephone). People were amazed by Bell's invention and were amazed when they could instantly hear someone speaking from miles away. Bell's invention would create the basis for communication and allow other inventors to advance the telephone for future generations. Bell used his fascination and knowledge of human speech to successfully invent the telephone, which transformed the lives of everyone around the world..
