Inclusive Easy Choice Bundle
Est. $150–$450
This bundle pairs two wireless switches with HelpKidzLearn software called EasySwitch and Choose and Tell. Together they give a child a way to start making choices and to practice scanning, where options are highlighted one at a time and a switch press picks one. It is made for young learners who are building early choice-making skills and need a switch, rather than a mouse or touchscreen, to take part. Because the switches are wireless, they can be positioned where a child can reach them most easily. The software runs on a computer, so you'll need one set up and ready.

Switch Skills 2

You can adjust the settings to fit one person and change them as skills grow. It works with a switch or a touch screen, but you'll need a switch and a way to connect it to the computer.

SwitchIt! Transport Extra
Est. $40–$90
SwitchIt! Transport Extra is Windows software that turns twelve transport themes, such as a school bus, ferry, digger, space rocket and taxi, into cause-and-effect and early choice-making activities. Each theme has flash cards that show a picture and say its name, picture builds that put a scene together with a switch press and end in an animated reward, and animated stories. It's meant for young learners who access a computer by switch, touch screen, mouse or auditory scanning, and who benefit from clear graphics, sound cues and picture menus. Printable extras like flashcards, sequencing, colouring and matching games come with it, and you can adjust the subject choices and access settings for each learner. You'll need your own switch and a way to connect it if switch access is the goal.

Switch Skills
Est. $30–$80
Switch Skills is a Windows program of game-style activities that help someone practice pressing a switch at the right moment. In activities like Racing Cars, Catch the Crocs and Soccer Shoot, the learner presses to race, catch or kick when the timing is right. Bright graphics and audio feedback make it usable for learners with low vision. The program tracks performance, and you can raise the difficulty as skills grow. A related Scanning title builds early scanning and choice-making skills. It is software only, so you will need a switch the learner can use and a way to connect it to the computer.

Inclusive Switch Skills Bundle
Est. $600–$1,200
This bundle pairs a Multi2 switch interface and Smoothie Switches with Switch Skills software titles that build core switch control and timing. The activities start with cause and effect and move toward early scanning, so a child can practice using a switch step by step. The listings differ on whether it includes three or four software titles, so confirm that before ordering. It's a ready-made practice kit, but it works best when a therapist or teacher helps match the switches and activities to the child.

Switch Skills for Two Set 2
Est. $40–$90
Switch Skills for Two Set 2 is a Windows software pack with 11 two-switch activities for learners who are moving past basic cause and effect.

The "Move and Get" games, like feeding a crocodile or launching a rocket, add timing and sequencing, which helps prepare a learner for scanning communicators. You'll need two switches and a way to connect them to your computer, and it's delivered by email rather than shipped.

Surface Pro EyeGaze Education: eyetuitive for Windows
Est. $1,500–$3,500
This bundle pairs a Windows Surface Pro tablet with eyetuitive's eye gaze system, so a student can control the tablet by looking at the screen instead of touching it. It's put together for the special education classroom, and the maker describes it as portable, sturdy, and easy to use. Because the tablet and the eye gaze pieces come as one package, you're not hunting for compatible parts yourself. Eye gaze works best when it's matched to the student's vision, positioning, and goals, so expect to get help from a therapist or ATP when choosing software and tuning the setup.

Mac mini
$599.00
The Mac mini is a small desktop computer, about five by five inches, that runs macOS and connects to the monitor, keyboard, and mouse you choose. That freedom is what makes it useful for assistive technology: you can pair it with larger or specialized displays, alternative input devices, or switch-based setups, and use the accessibility features built into macOS. It has ports on both the front and back, and it can sit next to a monitor or be mounted out of the way. Keep in mind that it is only the computer itself, so you need to supply the screen and input devices, and any assistive setup is up to you.

SwitchIt! Wildlife Extra

It also comes with printable worksheets and braille worksheets made for swell paper and a heat fuser. If you plan to use switches, you'll need the switch hardware and a way to connect it to the computer.

Switch Skills for Two Set 1
Est. $100–$250
Switch Skills for Two Set 1 is a Windows software package of 16 two-switch activities that help learners move beyond basic cause and effect into early choice-making. Each activity uses playful themes, like feeding crocodiles, launching rockets, and dancing monsters, and the learner presses one of two switches to see different results. The activities are graded so skills build step by step, and they encourage turn-taking and interaction with a partner. Learners can use left and right switches or keyboard alternatives such as the spacebar. This is software only, so you'll need your own switches and a way to connect them to the computer.

All in One EyeGaze Education: eyetuitive for Windows
Est. $800–$2,000
This is a ready-to-assemble eye gaze package for a special needs classroom, built around eyetuitive for Windows. The bundle includes a touch PC or monitor, a REHAdapt stand to hold it, and Inclusive EyeGaze software. With eye gaze, a student controls the screen by looking at it instead of using a mouse or touch, which opens up learning activities and communication for children who can't use those tools easily. Because the pieces come together in one package, a school doesn't have to match a tracker, screen, mount, and software on its own. Getting the student positioned well and the tracking calibrated is where a therapist or AT specialist can make a real difference.

Big Bang Patterns is a Windows program that fills the screen with more than 60 bright, bold animations, paired with lively music and sound effects.

Counting Songs 2
Est. $30–$80
Counting Songs 2 is a Windows program that teaches counting through ten original songs. Seven count up from 1 to 5 and three count down from 5 to 1.

Learners can use a touch screen, a mouse, or switches, so it can fit different ways of accessing a computer. A separate iPad app version also exists.

SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra
Est. $35–$80
SwitchIt! Dinosaurs Extra is a Windows program of animated, sound-filled activities about dinosaurs, prehistoric animals and their habitats. A learner can build pictures and follow short stories, such as a mammoth rescuing its young or a fossil forming over time, using one or two switches, a mouse, a touch screen or a keyboard. It's aimed at switch users and early learners, and the activities encourage sequencing, prediction and language. It also comes with printable worksheets (dot-to-dots, matching, story sequencing, colouring) and braille worksheets meant for swell paper and a heat fuser. The braille sheets need that equipment to be useful, and you'll need a way to connect switches if that's how the learner will play.

iPad Air
$599.00
The iPad Air is Apple's mainstream tablet, available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes with a Liquid Retina display and the M4 chip. It matters for assistive technology because iPadOS is the platform many communication, learning, vision, hearing, and alternative-access apps are built for, so one device can serve many different needs depending on which apps and settings you choose. It works with a Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro if those suit the person using it, but they are separate purchases. The tablet itself is a general-purpose device, not a ready-made AT solution, so the benefit comes from what you set up on it.

SwitchIt! People Extra
Est. $35–$80
SwitchIt! People Extra is a Windows program that teaches about people who help us, such as community helpers, through simple cause-and-effect activities. Learners can watch twelve five-step animations, build a scene and see it come to life, or flip through large themed flash cards. It works with one or two switches, a touch screen, a mouse, IntelliKeys or a Concept Keyboard, so it fits learners who can't use a standard keyboard. A picture menu lets non-readers pick activities on their own, and you can set the number of steps and how long the animated rewards last. Each learner can have saved preferences, and the package adds printable worksheets, including braille ones meant for swell paper.
