Growing up as a child with his deaf mother, Eliza, Alexander Graham Bell sympathized with the deaf and later dedicated his life to teaching speech and liberating children deaf. In 1870, Bell and his family moved to Canada where Melville taught his son visible speech and arranged teaching jobs for him in New England. A year later Alexander Graham Bell moved to Boston, which was a hot spot for commercial, educational, and scientific activities. He began writing articles on deaf education and holding scientific conferences (Grosvenor, Wesson). When Bell moved to Boston he succeeded in spreading the teaching of Visible Speech. He continued his career teaching the deaf where technology and inventions flourished. “It pains my heart to see the difficulties children face due to the prejudices of their teachers. You know that all communication here happens strictly with the mouth... and imagine little children who have no idea about language and are forced to depend on lip reading for almost every idea that crosses their minds. Naturally their mental development is slow. It is a wonder to me that they are making any progress” (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 making a difference in the lives of deaf children and using new and innovative techniques to make their lives easier. When people began to realize Alexander Graham Bell's extreme talents, he was hired to teach private lessons to children particularly struggling with reading, writing, and speaking. Thomas Sanders, a Salem... middle of paper..., extensive research and experimentation led to what no one else seemed to understand. Despite facing many obstacles and failed experiments over the course of two years, they still managed to successfully transmit human speech simultaneously over a cable. With great triumph with the telephone, Bell began demonstrating his invention throughout Massachusetts and at conventions, colleges, and meetings. He became a highly respected and well-known inventor (Bell Invents the Telephone). People were amazed by Bell's invention and were amazed when they were able to immediately hear someone talking miles away. Bell's invention would create the foundation for communication and allow other inventors to make advances in the telephone for future generations. Bell used his passion and knowledge of human language to successfully invent the telephone, which transformed the lives of everyone in the world.
