Dear Mr. Jackson,

Silent content likely means captioned content.  That means written information has less utility for those with limited literacy skills.  Particularly the elderly
and those with chronic diseases who also experience cognitive decline and impaired vision. 
In all sincerity I suggest looking for a sound system.

Subject: [HealthLiteracy 1595] Searching for free health-information downloads that are silent



Our foundation donated a plasma screen for the wall of a health-information center at the Central Branch of the Atlanta Public Library, but there is no sound system.  I know that the American Ad Council offers free health PSAs, but we are looking for free content that is silent and can be downloaded.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thank you.
