seminars

If you would like to see equipment from Zyteq, we will arrange to visit you at your facility or a convenient location. We are based in Melbourne but make regular trips to all major centres around Australia throughout the year.

Sessions are held in as many major areas as possible with topics designed to meet the interest of participants. Centrally located sessions in regions may also be offered to which you will be invited if we have your details.

The aim of the sessions is to provide education about our equipment and how it can be used. A general overview can be provided or sessions can be tailored to meet interests, case-loads or to meet specific needs.

there is no minimum number of people required for a session, although it may be impractical to travel to a very remote location to provide a session for a single inquiry, but please ask!
there is no charge for these sessions a reasonable sized room is necessary for the equipment to be presented in a comfortable manner.
A large table or two is also required.
the room will need to be available at least 15 minutes prior to the session start time so that equipment can be set-up ready for a prompt start.
sessions may be as short as one hour, or as long as a whole day but common sense needs to prevail in terms of balancing travel time, remoteness of location and so on. This can be discussed if you are not sure what is possible or reasonable. a screen or wall is necessary so software can be projected.
it is helpful is parking can be provided close to the venue, with 'no-steps' as equipment is transported in heavy cases with wheels it is desirable if sessions can be opened to others outside your organisation if other people from your region may wish to attend

Anyone with an interest in equipment for people with special needs is welcome to request a presentation or attend sessions.
Speech Pathologists would be the primary group who need to know about the equipment as they are generally in a position of needing to advise clients about what is available and possibly make recommendations about the most suitable devices.
Occupational Therapists and AAC specialists may also be in key roles of advising clients and making recommendations.
Speech pathologists, teachers of students with special needs, support workers of people with an intellectual disability, occupational therapists, carers and parents of people with special needs, psychologists, and interested individuals are the usual participants of our sessions.
The presentation topics make a focal point for regional meetings, special interest groups, staff meetings or other professional development events or community activities.

Zyteq's managing director Tracey Bode (B.App.SC [Speech Pathology], M.A. [Applied Linguistics]) is the presenter.
