FAQs
Common questions about Community Participation
Can community participation support be used for group activities?
Yes — many providers run small-group outings and programs, which can also be a more cost-effective way to use your funding than 1:1 support.
What if I want to try something new but I'm not sure what?
Support coordinators and providers on Magnus Connect can help you explore options based on your interests, goals and local community — that's part of what makes the AI matching useful.
