Accessibilities
Accessibility Resources
These are materials made available from A.A. World Services and AA Grapevine/La Viña to support those facing accessibility barriers. Many of the resources are free on aa.org or available to purchase on onlineliterature.aa.org. Please share broadly at your local meetings and events so that the “hand of A.A.” is there for any alcoholic reaching out for help. Please email access@aa.org with any questions.
