Light-Up Gel Switch
$129.95
This is a soft, sparkly gel switch that lights up when it's pressed. The gel pad is big and inviting, so it works well for someone who needs an easy, appealing target to reach for and press. It takes about 35 to 40 grams of force, which is a fairly light touch. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 6½ by 5¾ by 3¾ inches. The gel pad color can vary from one unit to the next.

Freedom
Est. $150–$350
The Freedom lets one switch control up to four different devices. You can move between them by holding the main switch down for a set time, or by tapping a second select switch. Each device plugs in through a standard 3.5mm switch jack, and you can program which channels are active so it skips any that are unused. The hold time is adjustable, and the keypad can be locked after setup so settings don't get changed by accident. Phones and tablets may need an extra adapter to connect, and the switch itself is sold separately.

Pillow Switch
$140.00
The Pillow Switch is a soft, smooth switch that someone can press with the head, cheek, or another body part, with a light touch. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono switch jack, so it can operate compatible communication aids, toys, and other switch-accessible technology. It fastens to a pillow or wheelchair cushion with a safety pin and Velcro, which puts it right where the person's head or cheek rests. This is only the switch. You'll need a switch-accessible device to plug it into, and a therapist can help with choosing a good spot and checking that the person can activate it reliably.

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.

Ping Pong Switch
Est. $35–$75
The Ping Pong Switch is a light-touch switch that needs very little force to activate. That makes it a fit for someone with limited movement who can reliably press with a small motion, such as a head movement. It's built to resist water and moisture and to hold up to daily use at school, in therapy, or at home. It plugs into any device with a 3.5mm mono switch input. A mounting set (gooseneck arm, Super Clamp, and Mini Ball & Socket mount) is offered as an option so you can position it exactly where the user can reach it. On its own it's just the switch, so it only does something once it's connected to a switch-accessible device.

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.

Button Click Switch
$34.95
The Button Click Switch is a small plate switch, about 2½ inches square, that sends a signal each time it is pressed. It needs only about 40 grams of pressure, so a light touch is enough to activate it. It has no battery. This is just the switch, so it does nothing until you connect it to something that accepts a switch, such as a switch-adapted toy, a call chime, or a switch interface.

Saucer Switches
$46.95
These saucer-shaped switches turn a light touch into a signal that can run a switch-accessible device, such as an adapted toy or a communication device. They're designed for someone who can't control or sustain the hand or wrist movements a traditional plate switch asks for. You can choose the standard Saucer Switch (7 inches across, 1 inch tall) or the smaller Mini-Saucer (about 3¼ inches across), and both weigh a quarter pound. A switch like this does nothing alone. It has to be plugged into something that responds to it, and choosing the right size and placement is easier with an OT or ATP.

it-Send Pro
Est. $80–$200
The it-Send Pro lets you plug in up to six wired switches (the kind with 3.5mm jacks) and sends their presses wirelessly to a paired it-Receive, so the switches don't need a cable to the computer or toy. It works within about 10 metres, which gives you room to position switches wherever the person can reach them most comfortably. With the it-Receive and the supplied Switch Centre software, each switch function is set up automatically for Simply Works devices. For software that isn't in the database, you can build a custom profile. This is a piece of a larger system: you need the switches themselves, an it-Receive, and a Simply Works-compatible computer program or adapted toy to make it useful.

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.

Switch & Glow
$129.95
The Switch & Glow is a switch with soft, stretchy neon noodles around a ball. A very light touch turns on a glowing light and also triggers a connected toy or device. It's meant for kids who are learning cause and effect or working on reaching. It's a good fit for someone who responds to bright light and different textures. It runs on 2 AA batteries and stands about 6 inches tall. It contains latex, so it isn't suitable for anyone with a latex allergy. Pressing down on it also activates it.

KajoButton Mini Switch
Est. $20–$60
The KajoButton Mini is a small black switch with a 25mm press surface that gives both a click you can feel and hear when it's activated. It plugs in through a 3.5mm mono jack on a 150cm cable, so it can sit where someone can reach it comfortably and work with communication aids, computer software, and adapted toys. This is the switch only. It does nothing until it's connected to a device that accepts a 3.5mm mono switch, and it's a good fit for someone who needs a compact, sturdy button for activating those devices.

Jumbo Switch w/Vibration
$76.95
This jumbo switch has a wide, 5-inch round surface, so you can activate it by touching anywhere on the top, even with limited hand control or low vision. It also vibrates when touched, which adds a bit of sensory feedback with each press. Two clear covers are included, one with a lip and one without, so you can choose how the top feels and how easy it is to hit. It runs on 2 AAA batteries. On its own it does nothing, because it is only the switch. You'll need to connect it to a switch-accessible device or toy, and a therapist can help match the switch to the person and the setup.

Select Switch
$117.84
The Select Switch is a battery-powered switch that lets someone operate battery-operated toys, appliances, and other devices on their own, using the switch's function controls. It's a good fit when pressing a small built-in button on a device is hard, and the switch can stand in for it.

Big Red
$75.00
The Big Red is a large switch with a 5-inch (12.7 cm) round surface that takes a light press, about 5.5 ounces of force. It gives both a click you can feel and a sound you can hear, so the person knows they hit it. It's a good fit for someone who needs a big target because of low vision or limited hand control. It comes with red, blue, yellow, and green snap-on tops and a clear holder for picture symbols. You can make printable symbol overlays with AbleNet's free Symbol Overlay Maker app, which needs an iPad running iPadOS 13 or newer. A switch like this does nothing alone, so you'll need to plug it into a switch-accessible device or interface.

Textured Roller Switch
$219.95
The Textured Roller Switch has a drum with a textured surface that someone spins to set off lights, music, and vibration. The rolling motion is the point: it gives a rewarding, hands-on way to make something happen, which suits a child who is learning cause and effect or who enjoys touch and movement. It measures 11 by 4.5 inches, weighs about 1.75 pounds, and runs on 4 AA batteries. The music can vary from one unit to the next, and the roller is a sensory activity rather than a way to run another device.

Mini-Gumball Switch
$58.95
The Mini-Gumball Switch is a small, round adapted switch with a 2-inch base that sits half an inch high. When pressed, it gives both a click you can feel and a sound you can hear, so the person knows the press registered. Its base has three holes and a removable mounting plate, so it can be attached to a tray, chair, or other surface. It needs no batteries and comes in several colors. This is only the switch: it does nothing until it's plugged into a switch-accessible device, toy, or communication aid, usually through a switch interface or a device with a switch jack.

Jelly Beamer Transmitter
$145.00
The Jelly Beamer Transmitter is a wireless switch, so someone can activate a device by pressing it without a cord running between them. It works from up to 30 feet away with no pointing needed, and several can be used in the same room because each has its own code. It also has a jack for plugging in a different single switch, which lets that switch work wirelessly too. It does nothing alone, though. You'll need AbleNet's Wireless Receiver, and the receiver has to be connected to whatever the person is controlling.

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.

36" Easy Flex Sip and Puff Switch
$219.95
The 36" Easy Flex Sip and Puff Switch lets someone run two devices with their breath: sipping through the straw triggers one, and puffing triggers the other. It sits at the end of a 36-inch flexible stem, so it can be positioned near the mouth without needing hand use. It's meant for people with limited mobility who need a mouth-operated way to join in play, games, and other switch-activated activities. This is only the switch, so you'll need switch-accessible devices to plug into, and anti-contamination filters and extra straws are sold separately.

Pillow Switch on Easy Flex Mount
$125.95
This is a pillow switch attached to a flexible, clamp-on mount, so someone can activate a switch-controlled device by pressing a soft pillow. The mount clamps to a surface, and you bend the arm to put the pillow where the user can reach it most comfortably. It takes a light touch, around 35 to 40 grams of force, which suits someone who can't press a hard button. The arm is about 20 inches long and the whole set weighs about a pound. It's only the input piece. You'll need a switch-adaptable toy, communicator, or other device to plug it into.

IR Controller
Est. $150–$400
The IR Controller lets someone who uses an AAC (speech-generating) device run switch-adapted equipment from that same device. It picks up the infrared signal the AAC device sends out and turns it into six separate switch outputs. Those outputs can run things like a switch-adapted bubble machine or an appliance controller such as the iClick mains controller. Each output can work in Latched, Timed, or On/Off mode, and ready-made Gridsets/Pagesets (the page layouts used on AAC devices) can be downloaded and changed with your own pictures and button sizes. It suits someone who would rather control their surroundings through the device they already use than through a separate switch. It is a piece of a larger setup, so you will need an AAC device with an IR output and something switch-adapted to plug in.
