What is GameSpec?
We are an NDIS social support provider located in Greenslopes, Brisbane, for teens, young adults and young at heart.
We provide 1:1 peer social participation support, assisting people to engage socially in a sensory-friendly and calm environment that we have created. Accessing our
exclusive space is a bonus to working
with our support workers.
The GameSpec environment is focused around the special interest of all types of gaming - we provide computer gaming, table top RPG's (D&D), board games, Lego, collectibles, Pokémon, Warhammer painting and facilitate group outings and special events.
We embrace all identities and are dedicated to making people feel welcome and safe. Everyone can be themselves at GameSpec.
ABOUT US
"We created GameSpec because we recognised the need for Autism-friendly social spaces." - Krystal & Amanda
GameSpec is a space that we are passionate about developing, due to a lack of Autism-friendly places in the community that meet the sensory needs that Autistic people commonly have.
Everyone has different social goals. GameSpec is a place where you will be supported and don't need to explain your differences. We wanted to create a safe space for connection, friendships, and cultivate a feeling of belonging.
Our team is made up of people with lived experience of Autism and ADHD, carers of those with Autism and ADHD, and also people who are massive gaming nerds that just want to share that joy with others.
