Thanks for submitting your question! I adjusted the referenced study task to be little more specific to the numbering system I've adopted. If that change I made is okay, I'll go ahead and add it.

Oh, I also wanted to make sure that this question isn't verbatim taken from the Deque University course, since that is copyrighted material. Are we good there?

Whoops! Misnumbered the study task myself there. Changed it to I:E.2.

@robfentress It's not verbatim from Deque. There's a similar question in their quiz but it is specific to blindness and doesn't specifically mention the "People First" concept.
