PURPOSES, GOALS AND FUNCTIONS

The Council of Organizations Serving the Deaf represents the culmi-

nation of a 10-year dream the formation of a central clearing house

and contact point for information and combined action by nationalorganizations serving deaf persons. Following a year-long study by theNational Health Council under a grant from the Social and Rehabilita-tion Service of the United States Department of Health, Education, andWelfare, the COSD was officially incorporated on January 27, 1967under the laws of New York State.

The basic objectives of the Council are spelled out in its Articles ofIncorporation to promote the best interests of deaf persons throughthe cooperative efforts of its autonomous organizations, by

a) Striving to eliminate social and economic barriers which handicap

deaf persons.b) Supporting activity directed to the prevention of deafness.c) Coordinating and strengthening the services of its member

organization.,.d) Providing liaison between organizations for the deaf and other

organizations interested in the deaf and their problems.e) Facilitating the sharing of information about deafness and the

welfare of the deaf, and providing general information about deafness.f) Enlisting the support of organizations and of the general public in

developing economic, social, cultural, and other opportunities for deaf

persons.g) Seeking funds for the accomplishment of these purposes.

Inter-organization communication is maintained through newsletters,memoranda, and board letters, which report national and internationaldevelopments relating to deafness, including activities in Congress, theU. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, schools andcolleges, rehabilitation centers, and other areas which relate to thestudy and solution of the problems of the deaf.

From time to time, as the COSD Board directs, special sections will

be activated to study and seek remedies for various problems in thefield of deafness. Topics which are presently being considered under thecontext of section study include:

Insurance problems of the deafLegal rights of the deaf (counsel and interpreter)Adult education programs for the deaf
