About Barbara Landsberg
Sales and Marketing Director
SPECTRONICS
BOccThy, MBA
Barbara is an Occupational Therapist who joined the Spectronics team 12 years ago. Prior to that time, she spent 17 years in occupational therapy positions working with adults and children with a variety of physical disabilities and learning difficulties. She also held the position of Coordinator of the assistive technology service of the Independent Living Centre of Queensland for three years before moving to Spectronics. On completion of her Masters of Business Administration (MBA) in 2010, she assumed the role of Sales and Marketing Director at the company and, among other roles, oversees running of the exciting and innovative Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference hosted every two years by Spectronics.
Barbara has a strong interest in the opportunities for students with disabilities or learning difficulties made possible through technology. She is also a passionate advocate of the use of social media tools to promote the power of inclusive learning technologies to enable independent achievement for all – whatever form that achievement might take.
I am looking forward to the workshops held in Hamilton in November and am particularly interested in the Text Help Read&Write Gold. I am hoping that this is the answer we need for struggling college students to boost their achievement in literacy. I have been to 2 day workshops held by Spectronics and found them very helpful. I have given the website to others, so that they can keep up to date on the new technologies that are available.
Keep it up!
