AGOSCI peer support group

Peer connection for professionals who are new to disability, AAC, and diverse communication

   

Meeting overview

AGOSCI is a member-based organisation, here to support a more inclusive community for people with diverse communication. AGOSCI is aware that professionals who are new to working in this space can feel overwhelmed and isolated. 

The new AGOSCI peer support group is designed to bring like-minded professionals together for peer support and connection. Our aim is to reduce isolation and encourage a network of support for people working in AAC and disability.

To encourage a safe space, these meetings will not be recorded. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance to attend the live event.

AGOSCI will host and facilitate meeting discussions, with opportunity for group members to explore topics of interest together and build a network of peer support. 

Audience

AGOSCI encourages any current members who are early career professionals, are new to the disability field, or new to AAC to join these meetings.

As a member, you are welcome to register one non-member guest at each meeting, because we know these events are easier when you have a friend.

Please remember a guest can only be registered for one peer support meeting, this is our gift to you. If your guest enjoys the meeting and wishes to attend future meetings, they can explore AGOSCI membership options to join us.
