When Keller attended the Cambridge School to prepare for college, it, like most schools during that time period, had little experience in making accommodations for special needs students like Keller.

Although she was in many ways well prepared academically, Keller's disabilities nevertheless left her at a disadvantage. She had to take the added step of preparing her Latin in Braille so that she could recite her lessons aloud in class. She was unable to take notes or do in-class assignments, so she had to take extra time to type up notes and in-class exercises after she got home, adding to her workload. It was difficult for her to get the raised print textbooks she needed, and therefore she had to rely on Miss Sullivan to read for her all the books she couldn't buy in a usable format. Miss Sullivan had to attend class with Keller and write into her hand what was said. Despite the extra challenges, Keller enjoyed attending the school and interacting with other students. Because she was highly motivated and because the school was supportive of her, her difficulties were not insurmountable.
