Who We Are
The Maryland Deaf Access Committee (MDAC) is a group of AA members who work in cooperation with our local area districts and home groups to help ensure we can carry the message to ALL those seeking recovery.
Focus
Our main focus is providing ASL (American Sign Language) interpreters at in-person AA meetings in Area 29 to make the fellowship more accessible to the Deaf, Hard of Hearng and late-deafened ASL community.
AA Traditions
We follow AA’s 12 Traditions and are not affiliated with any outside organization. More information provided on our FAQ
Our Deaf AA members decide which meetings to have interpreted.
Contributions
We rely on contributions from AA members and groups to pay for ASL interpreters. We encourage people to remember that when we’re discussing having ASL interpreters at meetings, we’re discussing providing language access to A.A.
