TVTAC
Accessibilities

Statement of Purpose

The goal of TVTAC’s Accessibilities Subcommittee is to enable every alcoholic to be an active participant in the group, without emphasizing differences.

The most important fact to keep in mind is that all alcoholics- whether deaf, blind, homebound, or with other disabilities-want to be part of the whole.

A.A. members throughout the Fellowship are discovering that the common bond of recovery can transcend the barriers of physical disabilities. Both groups and members can become more aware of A.A. members who need specific kinds of help.

While there are no special A.A. members, many members have accessibility needs. Here in the Treasure Valley, we aim to aid the following groups:

Blind / Sight Impaired
Deaf / Hearing Impaired
Wheelchair Bound
Remote Locations
Elder / Homebound
Childcare Friendly
Spanish and other languages

This is a developing segment for TVTAC so we are actively seeking volunteers to help us service our fellow A.A.s with rides, translations, inbound meetings and more. If you are interested, please email accessibilities@tvtac.com or fill out the form under “Contact us”.

We currently offer the support listed below and hope to expand this in many ways over the next several years. If you have any questions, please email accessibilities@tvtac.com or contact us through TVICO (208) 344-6611 and they will connect you with us for help and support.
