Who best understood Helen first limited sign language?

The person who best understood Helen Keller's first limited sign language was her teacher, Anne Sullivan.

Here's why:

* Patience and Dedication: Anne Sullivan was incredibly patient and dedicated to helping Helen learn to communicate. She spent countless hours working with Helen, understanding her frustration and gradually building a system of communication.

* Understanding of Helen's Needs: Anne had a deep understanding of Helen's needs and limitations. She recognized that sign language was a key to unlocking Helen's potential for communication and learning.

* Development of a Customized Language: Anne didn't rely on existing sign language systems. She created a system tailored to Helen's specific needs and abilities, working with her to develop signs for objects, actions, and concepts.

While others might have had some understanding of Helen's early attempts at communication, Anne Sullivan was the one who truly dedicated herself to unlocking the world for Helen through language.
