c. Period over period increase/ decrease using up-green/ red-down triangle signs (for example: Residents Reached and Third-Graders Proficient Reading

Thus for many Deaf individuals, English is a second language and a language that they may not be completely literate in. This is critical to consider as most health care information is delivered in English and may not have a translated version in ASL.…
