Turtle Switch
$159.95
The Turtle Switch is a turtle-shaped toy that responds to a light touch with music, lights, vibration, or all three at once. You choose which of the three outputs are active. The music is custom songs made by the manufacturer, and the music, lights, and vibration play only for as long as the toy is pressed. It's a good fit for a young child who is learning cause and effect, or who needs a gentle, rewarding reason to reach for and touch something. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 9 inches long, so it works as its own play and sensory item.

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.

Peter the Penguin Switch
$149.95
Peter the Penguin is a switch shaped like a penguin on an iceberg. Pressing his head or anywhere on the base activates a switch-adapted toy or device plugged into it. You can set it to give its own feedback with lights, vibration, or music, in any combination. It works as a momentary switch, so the person has to keep pressing for the connected device to stay on. That makes it a good fit for a child who is learning cause and effect, practicing reaching, or building visual and sensory awareness. It runs on 2 AA batteries and stands about 6½ inches tall.

Adapted Musical Crystal Ball
$62.95
The Adapted Musical Crystal Ball is a switch-activated cause-and-effect toy. Press a connected switch and the dome spins, casting a moving pattern of colorful shapes while soothing music plays. It's a good fit for a child who is building visual attention, learning to link a switch press with a result, or working on color awareness. The ball runs on 3 AA batteries and stands about 4½ inches tall. It has no built-in button, so it does nothing until a switch is plugged in.

Finger Isolation Button
$69.95
This small switch has a button set down inside a recessed opening, so a person has to point and press with one finger to activate it. That design gives you a way to practice finger isolation and fine motor control, the skills behind using a computer or touchscreen. It measures about 3 inches deep and 1.5 inches high and weighs 3 ounces. Like any switch, it does nothing alone: it works only when plugged into a switch-accessible device, toy, or computer interface.

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.

Access Switch
Est. $25–$65
The Access Switch is a touch-sensitive push button that lets someone activate a device with a light press instead of using a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen. It comes in a small size (30mm pressing area) and a medium size (65mm pressing area). A clear screw-on cap holds a picture or symbol on top, so the switch can be labeled with the item or action it triggers, and you can swap the image as needs change. It clicks and gives a tactile response when pressed, which helps people who need that confirmation. This is only the switch. It has a 150cm cable with a 3.5mm mono plug, so you'll need a compatible device or switch interface to plug into, and the picture symbols are not included.

it-Control Pro Starter Pack
Est. $150–$300
This starter pack pairs the it-Control Pro, a two-channel controller, with a wireless it-Switch so someone can run switch-adapted toys or other devices with a light touch. The controller has two 3.5mm output jacks, so you can plug in two toys at once. It works in several modes: direct, latched, timed (in seconds or minutes), and two cooperative modes where two people share control. Up to three wireless switches can pair to each channel, or you can connect wired switches instead, with a range of up to 10 metres. The switch has a low, slanted profile and responds to very small movements, which suits someone with limited strength. The pack's switch comes in small or large sizes and four colours, so check which version is included before ordering.

Gooshy Switch with Lights, Vibration & Music
$159.95
The Gooshy Switch is a soft, squishy, sparkly pillow that gives off lights, vibration and music when someone presses it. A control on the switch lets you choose any or all of those three rewards. It can be used by itself as a sensory toy, or it can serve as an activation switch for cause-and-effect play. It measures about 9 by 4¼ by 3½ inches, weighs about a pound and a half, and runs on 2 AA batteries. The music can vary from unit to unit.

iClick
Est. $150–$350
The iClick lets you switch electrical appliances on and off from an iPad, with no cables between the two. You plug up to two mains devices into its sockets and control them separately through a free app. Modes include holding to run (good for teaching cause and effect), touch on/touch off, a timer from 1 second up to 250 minutes, and a two-person mode that needs two people to work together. It can also be used with wireless switches, and the app works with iOS Switch Control for someone who can't use the touchscreen directly. The sockets are UK mains type, and you need to supply your own iPad (iPad 3 or later).

Koosh Switch
$129.95
The Koosh Switch is a soft, textured switch that works two ways: as a stand-alone toy that responds with lights, music, and vibration, or as a switch that activates other devices. People who enjoy the koosh feel get a touch-friendly target to press or reach for, which makes it a good fit for encouraging reaching and cause-and-effect play. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 8 by 5 by 4½ inches. It contains latex, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a latex allergy.

HelpKidzLearn EasySwitch
Est. $60–$150
The EasySwitch gives a child a wireless way to play switch-accessible games and activities on a computer. The bundle has a USB dongle and two low-profile switches, one yellow and one red, and the switches respond to very light movement, so they suit someone with limited movement. Press the 'M' button on the back of a switch to assign a keystroke such as Space or Enter, which lets the switches work with HelpKidzLearn games and other switch-accessible software. It is a complete starter set for computer access, though you still need a computer with a USB port and software that accepts switch input.

Tail Light Switch, Say It Play It (Yellow)
$209.95
The Tail Light Switch plays a recorded message of up to 20 seconds when someone gives it a gentle touch. At the same time, it lights up and vibrates, so the person gets light, motion, and sound feedback from a single press. It's a good fit for someone who has a hard time seeing or who is just learning that pressing something makes something happen. You can record a message, or use the switch to turn on other toys and devices. It runs on 4 AA batteries.

Twin SLAT
Est. $80–$200
The Twin SLAT sits between one or two access switches and low-voltage battery toys or appliances, and it changes how a switch press controls them. It has two independent channels and eight modes. The modes include direct (on only while pressed), latched (press once for on, again for off), timed, and co-operative modes where two people must both press before anything happens. Timed settings run from 5 seconds up to 1 hour, set on a two-digit LED display, and a button lets you cancel a timed run early. It's a good fit for teaching cause and effect, turn-taking, and timing, or for giving someone a way to run a toy or small appliance with the kind of switch press that works for them. This is a control box, not a standalone toy: you'll need your own switches and the toy or appliance to connect.

Mini Dome Switch
$189.95
The Mini Dome Switch is a large dome that responds to a press with bright lights, glitter and music. A built-in control lets you pick one or more of these rewards, so it works well for teaching cause and effect, encouraging reaching, and building visual attention. It runs on 4 C batteries and stands on its own, so there's nothing to plug it into. The music can vary from unit to unit.

Getting Started with Switches Bundle

It includes the Big Red Switch, Jelly Bean Switch, small Pal Pad, Piko Button 50, large and small Smoothie switches, and a Specs Switch IC. The point is to let someone try several switches and see which one is easiest to press. It suits a person just starting out with switch access, such as practicing cause and effect or playing with the toy. The toy is one of several animal designs, and colors and contents may vary. The toy takes 2 AA batteries, which are included.

Classroom Switch Kit
$964.95
This kit gives a classroom or therapy team a big set of switches to try out with different students. It includes five switch types: Big Red Buddy Button, Big Red, Buddy Button IC, Jelly Bean, and Large Pal Pad. The product description says there are 40 switches in all, but only 20 are itemized (four of each type). Check the full contents before you order. The switches come in a mix of colors and are stored in a durable plastic box, so they're easy to carry between rooms. The mix covers different positioning and motor needs, from large pressable surfaces to flat, low-pressure pads that can be mounted on a tray or surface. These are switches only. They do nothing until you connect them to a device, toy, or communication aid that is switch-accessible.

it-Control
Est. $60–$120
The it-Control sits between a switch and a switch-adapted toy, so a child can press a switch to make the toy run. The Pro version described here has two channels, so you can run two toys or devices at once. Each channel can pair with up to three wireless it-Switches, and wired switches work too, alone or mixed with wireless ones. It can run a toy while the switch is held, switch it on and off with each press, or run it for a timed stretch set in seconds or minutes. It also has two cooperative modes: in one, two switches must be pressed together, and in the other, one switch turns the toy on and another turns it off. That makes it a good fit for early cause-and-effect play, turn-taking, and play between two children. It uses 2 AA batteries (included) and 3.5mm jacks. You'll need switches and a switch-adapted toy; neither comes with it.

Vibe-Lite Switch
Est. $45–$90
The Vibe-Lite Switch is a large, light-up switch that vibrates and gives off sound when pressed. It has a 110mm pressing surface and takes 85g of force to activate. You can set it to momentary (active only while held), latch (press once to turn on, again to turn off), or timed, with the timer running from five seconds to two minutes. A light that blinks every four seconds, plus the lighting and vibration on press, can each be turned off if they distract. It runs on 2 AA batteries, which come with it, and works well for cause-and-effect play and early switch practice. Like any switch, it's the input piece: it does something only when it's connected to a toy, device, or other switch-accessible equipment.

it-Control Pro
Est. $60–$120
The it-Control Pro sits between your switches and switch-adapted toys, so a child can turn a toy on by pressing a switch. It has two channels, so it can run two toys at once, and each channel can pair with up to three wireless it-Switches. You can also use wired switches, or a mix of both. It offers direct, latched and timed modes, plus two cooperative modes. In one, two switches must be pressed together to start the toy. In the other, one switch turns the toy on and another turns it off. That makes it a good fit for turn-taking and shared play. Toys plug in through 3.5mm jacks, and the controller needs 2 AA batteries. The switches and toys are sold separately, and picking the right mode and switch placement for a child may take some trial and error.

Pinch Switch
$48.95
The Pinch Switch is a small, sensitive switch that you squeeze between the fingers to turn on a switch-adapted toy or device. It is about 3 inches long and weighs 2 ounces, so a child can hold it in one hand, and it responds to very light pressure. It also gives a child practice with grasping, fine motor, and pinching skills. On its own it does nothing, because it only works when plugged into something switch-accessible, such as an adapted toy or a switch interface. A tablet would need its own interface first.

iSwitch
Est. $150–$400
The iSwitch is a compact, 75mm Bluetooth switch that lets someone control a tablet, phone, or computer with a single press instead of a touchscreen, mouse, or keyboard. It can send left, right, and double mouse clicks, plus 24 pre-programmed modes that cover common keystrokes like space and enter for switch-accessible apps and games. It also has media controls for play/pause, skip, and volume, and timed play options of 10 or 30 seconds for reward-based activities. Two ports on the unit accept extra switches, so you can build a setup with more than one input. Because it is one piece of a larger access setup, a therapist can help choose the right mode, switch placement, and device settings.

Cushion Grip Switches
$60.95
The Cushion Grip Switch slips over the hand, so a person can activate a toy or other device by gripping it with a palm or rolling it across a tray or tabletop. It's very sensitive and made to fit most users. It comes in two sizes: medium (5" x 2" x 2") and small (3.5" x 1.75" x 1.25"), each weighing about a quarter pound. It needs no battery. This is only the switch, so you'll need a switch-adapted toy or a switch interface to connect it to. It also suits early grasping practice.
