AAC professionals peer support group: ask me anything

Hosted by Georgia Camilleri

Meeting overview 

The AGOSCI AAC professionals peer support group is designed to bring like-minded professionals together for peer support and connection. We aim to reduce isolation and encourage a network for people working in the field of alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). 

Whether you’re a recent graduate or a seasoned professional, there’s always a fresh perspective to explore.

These sessions are FREE for members to attend. 

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

Sessions will follow two formats:

1. Guest speaker "ask me anything sessions" – ask the AAC professional guest speaker questions and share your own experiences with the group. 
2. Research round up – we invite AAC professionals to share and receive updated insights into what's happening in recent research at home and abroad.   

The AAC professionals peer support group was previously known as the Early careers peer support group for health professionals. 

Target audience

AGOSCI encourages any members who are AAC professionals to attend.

AAC professionals may be involved in the assessment of communication needs, recommendation of appropriate tools, and training and supporting individuals, families, and support teams in how to use them effectively e.g. speech pathologists, occupational therapists, special education teachers, assistive technology specialists, allied health assistants and special education teachers.

This is a member-only event.
