Correspondence and other records of interaction and cooperation between Deafpride and various departments of the District of Columbia government. About half this series is given over to records of the government Department of Human Services’ Advisory Task Force on Deafness, which was set up in 1988 to study the services offered by the District to its deaf citizens. Margaret Bibum and Ann Wilson of Deafpride were members of this task force. This includes a transcript of a September 1988 hearing in which the task force solicited public statements on deaf services in the District.

Also included are correspondence, meeting minutes, and agendas from various initiatives of the DC mayor’s office, the public schools, and other parts of the city government. Work adjustment and job training forms for deaf people placed in jobs or training programs by a collaboration between Deafpride and the city Rehabilitation Services Administration are also present in this series.
