Description
Remove barriers to AA accessibility through technologies that help members participate in meetings and service when physical access, stamina, communication, or other circumstances make traditional participation difficult. The presentation connects online meetings with practical supports such as voice-to-text, larger text, captions, plain language, visual organization, reminders, and source-based digital tools. It emphasizes that technology should extend access rather than replace AA literature, sponsorship, judgment, anonymity, or group conscience, and encourages service bodies to ask what barrier can be responsibly removed so another member can participate.
