A specific focus was put on creating a list of people with disabilities and children with disabilities to know their knowledge of sign language and Braille, as well as if they went to school. Services provided to reach this end were research design, sampling methodology, instrument review and translation, data collection/oversight, and data entry and cleaning of the datasets.
