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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Soft Shaggy Switch
$104.95
The Soft Shaggy Switch is a textured, fuzzy switch that sets off a connected device with a very light touch. It measures 7 inches long, 5 wide and 2 tall, weighs about a quarter pound, and needs no battery. The shaggy fabric cover comes off for washing, and its color may vary. It suits someone who needs a gentle, low-effort way to activate a device, or who enjoys the feel of a soft surface. This is only the switch, so you'll need a switch-adapted toy, device, or interface for it to control. A battery interrupter, which lets a simple battery toy respond to a switch, can adapt many toys.

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.

It measures 9 inches by 6 inches by 3 inches, weighs about 1¼ pounds, and runs on 2 AA batteries.

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.

You can record a message, or use the switch to turn on other toys and devices. It runs on 4 AA batteries.

Oval Texture Switch
$60.95

It measures about 4½ inches across and 3 inches tall and weighs a quarter pound. Customer answers say it has two suction cups on the back to help it stay put, and that it responds to a light press. It does nothing on its own, so you'll need a switch-adapted toy, device, or interface to plug it into.

It suits someone who enjoys tactile input and needs an easy way to make a toy or device turn on. The switch doesn't do anything on its own, so you'll need something switch-accessible to plug it into.

Textured Plate Switches
$142.95
This set of four light-touch plate switches responds to even the slightest press, and each one has a different texture and color: blue with inverse bumps, orange with thin ridges, red with wide ridges, and yellow with bumps. They give someone a way to explore different touch sensations while also making a cause-and-effect action happen. You plug them into a switch-adaptive toy, device, or interface, because a switch does nothing on its own. They don't need batteries.

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
Est. $150–$350

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.

The toy takes 2 AA batteries, which are included.

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.

Textured Saucer Switches (Set of 3)
$269.95
These are three 7-inch saucer-style switches, each with a textured surface, so pressing one gives plenty of touch feedback while it triggers a device. They're made of hard plastic and sold as a set of three, with colors that may vary. Someone who enjoys or needs a strong feel under the hand can use them to operate switch-accessible toys, communicators, or computers. A switch like this does nothing alone, so it has to be plugged into something that accepts switches, and an interface may be needed.

Tactile Discrimination Switches (Set of 3)
$104.95
This is a set of three small switches, each with a 2" x 2" surface that has a different raised pattern: dots, lines, or circles. The patterns let a person tell the switches apart by touch, which helps someone with low vision and also gives sensory seekers something interesting to feel. You can use one at a time or all three together, and each one triggers a switch-enabled device with a very light touch. These are only the switches, so you'll need a toy, communicator, or other device made to be activated by a switch.

Ladybug Switch
$159.95
The Ladybug Switch is a colorful, ladybug-shaped switch that responds to a very light touch. Each press can give a reward of lights, music, vibration, or any mix of the three, so you can match the feedback to what a child enjoys. It's meant for young children who are learning cause and effect or working on reaching and activating a device. It also works as a sensory toy on its own, and it can be used to trigger other switch-adapted devices. It runs on 2 AA batteries and measures about 9 by 6¼ by 4 inches.

Sensory Dome Switch
$109.95
The Sensory Dome Switch is a switch with a soft, squishy dome covered in small bumps. A light push on the dome sets off a gentle vibration and also activates whatever toy or device is connected to it. That mix of sight, touch, and feel makes it a good fit for a child who explores through sensation and is learning that pressing something makes something else happen. It is a switch, not a complete setup, so you will need a switch-adaptable toy or device to plug it into. Color varies from unit to unit, so you can't count on a specific one.
