Description
Examine how new technologies can reduce barriers to the AA message for deaf, hard-of-hearing, blind, low-vision, and otherwise disabled members. The transcript focuses on ASL video meetings, text chat groups, captioning, accessible websites, screen reader testing, color contrast, and simple visual explanations of AA service structure. By connecting AA accessibility new technologies with practical service questions, the presentation highlights how online tools can create fellowship, sponsorship pathways, and participation for members who may not be reached through in-person meetings alone.
