Following is the most up-to-date list of TTY equipped 12 Step offices available; other AA offices rely on relay service for interaction with the Deaf. Please let us know if you are aware of changes or additions to this list. Information about ASL-interpreted AA meetings can usually be provided by local AA central or intergroup offices listed in the phone book. If there is no local AA office, the Alcoholics Anonymous General Service Office keeps an updated list of over 580 United States and Canadian AA central offices. Their staff welcomes inquiries and will do their best to locate someone who can be helpful.
